It’s so easy and cheap to make. I have never bothered with the product in the tube. Just a side note—The further north you travel in Italy the denser the polenta gets. While they tend to eat a dense, sliced polenta in the Veneto, south of Rome it becomes more of a corn meal mush. Before the 70’s you rarely saw polenta in fine dining. It was the food of the poor. It gained popularity during WWII when the maize that was usually reserved to feed livestock was turned to for sustenance when food was scarce.
