    Sure, use whatever you want! I have to say this recipe used the buttermilk I was trying to get rid of, but I felt it could've used more flavor. I've been eating it with butter and jam and thought it would work well as a cornbread-something stuffing at Thanksgiving. Sorry to be wordy.

    Can you use any old cornmeal? Like could I get bulk polenta at Whole Foods?
