mush
A thick, cooked cereal or porridge made by cooking cornmeal with milk or water. It's served as a breakfast dish by adding either melted butter, milk or maple syrup. Mush is also cooked, poured into a pan and cooled. It's then cut into squares, sautéed until golden brown (much like
POLENTA) and served hot, sometimes with gravy, as a side dish.
