    I am so impressed.

    By the way, what does polenta taste like? I looked up what it is, but I've never had it. Is it bland, or do you flavor it with something. And was it homemade just for this sculpture?

    Thanks :)

    Polenta...I guess you could say it's a little bland. It's mostly cornmeal and water. I made my own for this recipe and then had to chill it for quite a while to get it malleable enough to sculpt.

    Have you ever had cornmeal mush? It's very like that. You can flavor it with lots of things- bacon fat, peppers...anything you want, it picks up different flavors very well.
