I had to look up grits and polenta in Wikipedia to find out what yo are
discussing.
Neither word is any part of the vocabulary in New Zealand - practically quite
unknown.
It seems that they take the place as a staple diet item of potatoes, which are
very much a staple here. I feel deprived if the evening meal doesn't have
potato - boiled, boiled and mashed, roasted. The best variety is Agria, a
yellow-fleshed Dutch variety..
When I went skiing in Austria in the early 1960's I was most put out by the
fact that the evening meals never had potatoes, but always some kind of
what I now call pasta; which seemed very strange to me.
I'm not quite so stuck in a rut now, and often cook noodles, rice, risotto (
bought ready to cook in a packet), and spaghetti.
