By your answer, I will assume that you believe that cous cous is the greater of the two.

But cous cous has been around far longer than polenta and I suspect it will survive even longer. Frankly, I'm tired of polenta's claim to some sort of eurocentric status of being the more moral of the two dishes. _____________________

I vote for Cous Cous, only because I have no idea what Polenta is

My view for what it is worth:
You have diners on both sides that insist that there are health benefits for each, regardless how prepared. There are some of us that sit with our spoons, letting the food fight fly because we know the ultimate truth. And that is that pudding will someday rule all......  _____________________

Which is the greater of the two? First, take cous cous aside and feed it stories of insulting trash talk from polenta. Make sure cous cous is really pissed off at polenta. Next, take polenta aside and feed it similar lies of insulting trash talk from cous cous. Next, vandalize cous cous' house, and conveinently leave polenta's sweater at the scene. On the same night, leave a burning bag of crap on polenta's doorstep. As you are leaving, play a recording of cous cous' annoying Fran Dresheresque laughing. Make sure polenta hears the bleating. Create a fake MySpace polenta hate page. At the same time, post an insulting Flash movie starring cous cous on YouTube. Find a few internet forums which both cous cous and polenta regularly read. Post fake insult threads directed at both. Get all of cyberspace in on the "feud". Anonymously call both and invite them out for a drink. Invite them to a bar where the floor is covered with peanut shells, chaw spittle and teeth. At the last minute, tell both that you are running a bit late. Sneak in early, and watch the fun when they see each other. Whoever is still standing after the asskickery is the greatest. |

Creative though, I'll give ya that!  _____________________

Personally, I prefer cous cous for ease of preparation; in fact, I fixed some with dinner tonight, it's very quick-cooking and can be done with a microwave instead of heating up the stovetop (always a plus in the summer). However, polenta slices topped with chopped tomatoes, fresh torn basil leaves, olive oil and some hard cheese, gently baked and then toasted to perfection under the broiler, is also a tasty dish and a great alternative to the more traditional side of bread with an Italian main dish.
Another alternative you've overlooked here is Tabouli. If you add Tabouli into the mix, it would win this battle hands-down, IMHO. _____________________
