This polenta was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this polenta was terrible. It was gluey and flavorless.

This polenta was a disaster. It was too runny and didn't crisp up at all.

I followed the recipe exactly and the polenta turned out too dry. I think I needed to add more liquid.

This polenta was a little bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper and it was much better.
