Cornmeal Corn (maize) is a staple in western Georgia, particulary in Samegrelo. Ground, dried cornmeal (like polenta) is used in porridge (ghomi), porridge with cheese (elarji), cornbread (mchadi) and cheesy corn-bread(tchvishtari). Ghomi means millet and suggests that millet was used as a staple in western Georgia before the arrival of New World corn. (Wheat was the staple in eastern Georgia.).
