Corn Meal/Polenta

Thread Starter: Rachael19    Started: Wed 10 Dec 2003    Replies: 11

Hi, anyone know a supermarket that sells corn meal or polenta in its grainy form. I need it to make corn bread and my local ASDA has suddenly stopped stocking it. Ive tried Tesco and Somerfield but they dont have any either? Otherwise, does anyone know a suitable substitute? thanks, Rachael

Hi Racheal, I've bought polenta recently from larger Tescos stores, Morrisons and Sainsburys. Smaller Tesco stores only seem to stock blocks of polenta.

I know what you mean about shops suddenly not stocking things, I had a nightmare finding buttermilk yet when I needed it, my favourite supermarkets stopped selling it! Fortunately it has returned to one of the supermarket shelves.

Good luck and don't give up! If you can't find it elsewhere then pester your local Asda store to put it back on the shelves.

Am I dreaming, or do I remember one of the TV chefs saying that you can replace polenta with sago - or something along those lines?

Any health food shop should also sell it. Try Holland and Barrett

Hi Rachael, I was going to say Asda's, but you say they stoppped stocking it .
Have you got any Asian shops near you? I think that will be your best bet, I know 2 shops in Crawley that stock them. Good Luck
