    Hi,
    I think this is called Frigola Sarda.
    It is similar to couscous but it is made of hand rolled balls of coarsely ground semolina.
    It is also known as Italian couscous. I have only seen it in my local deli.
    Never seen it in a supermarket, and I do the rounds in all of them!

    Oh. Don't know if this is similar as I have never tried it, but, Israeli cousous, found in Kosher supermarkets! Apparantly it is delicious.
