That's cornmeal mush, not Norwegian mush. My mother always says her
Norwegian grandmother (emigrated 1879) made mush out of flour. I don't know
what else was in it, but it didn't impress my mother one bit. (Neither did
lutefisk. Lefse, on the other hand, we make every Christmas.)

We often had fried cornmeal mush when I was growing up. For breakfast,
lunch
and dinner. My mom would fry it in a little bacon grease with lots of salt
and pepper. Sometimes we would put maple syrup on it. We also had fried
green tomatoes (way before there was ever a movie!!) and country gravy.
Nope, it is not Scandinavian, it is food from Missouri farmers.
