Once it was a poor fishermen's food, made of what was pooled off the nets after the most expensive fish was sold. And now it is one of the priciest items on any restaurant menu. Same goes to polenta.

A lot, I can tell you. We had pasta, we had ravioli, we had all kind of delicious meals, all without leaving the house! We often think of convenience, and forget of how good can taste a very simple food like polenta and mushrooms.

Wasting a food was prohibited in my family when I was growing up.
