Oh waiting for an answer to the bonus question from the other question.
Curious to get your reaction to this other angle on the same question.
Now there has been some discussion about maize reaching African through trade with the original inhabitants of what we now call South America and the Caribbean during the pre-Columbian era. Could what we call turned cornmeal have also reached Africa by that route (e.g. ugali or cornmeal cous-cous). Hence when Africans were enslaved the dish came with them and merged with what the Italians call Polenta, reinforcing the dish from 3 influences....Taino, African (via trade with original inhabitants of what we now call Latin America and the Caribbean), and Spanish?
