Who /couscous/ here?

couscous is pasta
>Add couscous to water
That's instant couscous. It has the advantage of being easy and fast to make, but I'd rather have rice. Making real couscous is a pain in the ass, but the result is much better. It helps to have a bunch of women in the kitchen with nothing else to do for half a day if that's what you want.

You must be buying shitty pasta and shitty rice.

Also, couscous is pasta, just in a different shape.

Cornmeal is way better, you can make these awesome blocks, also millet is spherical like couscous but also tastes better.

It's good to have some around for a ten minute meal. I like a bit of mackerel and sambal with it.
