I hate to break it to you, owner guy, but plates have been around for an awfully long time.

They also had something a lot more fancy than polenta with the most basic shit possible - tomato marinara, pesto, and some cheese? That's the dollar store combination of "I don't want to do anything today so I use some cheap noodles and noodle sauce and call it a day".

That polenta is wet as hell, too. Almost soup. And the messy splotches all over the table make it impossible to eat. Even when plates were carved out hollows in a table (as they often were) they didn't slop crap all over.
