Its been a while since I have cooked with polenta .   Its often Polenta Chips or my favourite Mexican style  Tamale Pie , and then other times  maybe  a gluten free Polenta Pizza , or simply as polenta bites a sort of free-style rough gnocchi.  I wanted to be creative with this time round and decided to make a Savoury Polenta loaf studded with diced red, green and orange pepper.  Then I remembered having picked up a vegan Black Pudding and decided to incorporate that into the loaf and this was the result.      It looks just like a gold churned butter slab or Mexican style cheese, but wait ....  Slowly slice into it and surprise. D loved it and said I could even try these with the vegan chorizo  I make at home.  Or if you must other sausages would work too I am sure; or not, you can make this Savoury Mosaic loaf without the vegan black pudding.  Just experiment that is what I do.

I had thought it was literally sweetcorn deep fried in batter, then told it was a hot dog sausage covered in golden corn batter and then deep fried.  Very popular in parts of America.  I have been waiting for an excuse to make them and a little while back when I had a full house of guests the opportunity to make these vegan Corn Dogs were presented to me.  had not int I do have have a deep fat fryer, I do but i don't cook in it often to merit it taking up valuable space in the kitchen.  So made these vegan corn dogs in a deep wide pan, three at a time .  My guests all stood around me and watched me in amazement as I made these vegan corn dogs and took pictures.    These pictures belong to them, as my hands were busy.   Vegan Corn Dog drowning in  yel...
