"Polenta is the Italian version of hasty pudding... Mămăligă is the Romanian version, also made with corn." Without citations, it's unclear whether the dishes are actually related. Simply writing that one thing is a "version" of another thing without any clear connections comes across as elitist, particularly since the article on Mămăligă makes no reference to hasty pudding.

The article presently says that the term has been used in England since the 16th century at least, referencing the OED. I assume this is right (I'm not a subscriber).
Bearing in mind that the New England colonies only started in the 17th century, I do not see how it could have originated under this name in New England colonies. Thehalfone (talk) 13:36, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
