Just to clarify (because previous answer was incorrect): You do not use CORNMEAL to thicken with. You use CORNFLOUR.

If you do not have cornmeal then you can substitute POLENTA, which is nothing more than a coarser-ground cornmeal, more or less. You can stick it in a blender or food processor to make it more finely-ground if you wish but it isn't necessary. It really depends on what you're using it for.

Cornmeal is difficult to replace in some recipes since it has such a unique texture due to the fact that it is coarsely ground up corn kernels. But if you're trying to bread something, you can use ground up cornflakes!!

There is no substitute, but it is the same as uncooked polenta, or is sometimes called "maize meal".

Are cornmeal mush and polenta the same?

Yes, polenta is made from crushed dry corn just like cornmeal. In fact you can use cornmeal to cook homemade polenta if you don't have official polenta. I use it all the time. The only difference I've ever noticed is that cornmeal is often ground finer than polenta. If you get course ground cornmeal it's the same thing.
