- wouldn't it be more like a ' type' of pasta, made of flour?

I think it may be Pasta

Couscous is a coarsely ground pasta made from semolina, a type of wheat.

Snap! lol what were the odds we both quoted the same website!

Seems to get a heated debate on several cookery forums as to what it is lol!

In North Africa, a food similar to pasta, known as couscous, has been eaten for centuries. However, it lacks the distinguishing malleable nature of pasta, couscous being more akin to droplets of dough.

Cous Cous is also listed as a Pasta HERE

It's made from durum wheat according to wiki which is what pasta is made from too

Is couscous a grain or a pasta? Neither, really. A Middle Eastern and North African staple, couscous is simply durum semolina (the wheat flour from which most Italian pastas are made) that has been lightly moistened with salted water and rolled into little granules.

Found in Morrisons own magazine

"Couscous is a type of pasta (no, it’s not a grain). It’s actually made from ground semolina – a type of wheat. (You can impress your friends with that fact now!)"

It's actually kind of both - it's flour and pasta, but I'm going with flour
Like macaroni and spaghetti, couscous is made from semolina flour, but rather than mixing the semolina with a prescribed amount of water and/or egg into a dough, couscous is made by rubbing the semolina between moistened hands until the flour combines with just enough water to form hundreds of tiny grains.

I do wish whoever sets competition questions did a bit of homework first
