I grew up eating "Fried Mush." Its made, as you said, and molded in a loaf pan. Refrigerate overnight then roll slices in flour and fry until crusty, turning just once so it doesn't fall apart. When my dad made it he called it Pan Haus. Its a German version of Palenta with shreaded leftover meat in it. Both kinds were served with butter and syrup. How do you make it in the microwave? Would love the recipe

Just found a recipe online for making one bowlful at a time to eat instead of oatmeal. I'm going to try it now. I remember as a kid I added a little butter and sugar to the hot mush then added milk and ate toast with it. Guess what I'm making for my lunch today!

My favorite way is to slice it about two inches thick, reheat it and ladle a nice hot beef stew over it in a bowl. It is a hearty lunch with a salad in the fall.

This is what I do. Sometimes I make polenta just for this.

We call it fried mush too. Try cooking the cornmeal in the water you have used to boil a ham in and add some of the ham in small pieces. My first in-laws were Pennsylvania Dutch and called that scrapple. Good stuff but sadly only one of my daughters liked it growing up.
