It's not bread. Also food is about nutrition, flavour, and textcha.

If you hate cous cous I reckon it's only a matter of trying different flavours, you see that's essentially the only part susceptible to user error

Couscous BTFO the FUCK out of rice and stuff if you make a goood meat to put on it. Make fried salmon in oil and butter with garlic, dill pepper and lemon then pour all the juices over couscous and top with the meat. FUCKING kino.

I hate the texture of couscous. It doesn't have a satisfying soft starchy bite to it like rice or pasta. It's just kinda grainy and mealy and makes your mouth feel dry.

I love Israeli couscous. It's like regular couscous, but a more refined higher quality version than what their neighbors serve.

>> No.18256031

the flavoured instant ones are really nice 2bf
one of the best meals I recall ever making was a throw-together thing I made one time with oven chips, some grilled chicken and curry sauce then with a serving of some cheap 'hot & spicy' instant couscous from lidl resting on it
trashy but tasty as all fuck. didn't make it again though lest I became addicted to it

It's cous cous. Tiny pasta almost the size of sand. If you fucking boil it you are a godless heathen. You should steam it while sticking your caloused manly hands in the hot mixture, ignoring the pain, rubbing and breaking up the pasta while it cooks.

Why? Just fry it in butter for a bit then put in enough boiled water for it to absorb. The couscous doesn't care that the water never rose to steam.
