    Make up with water mix with an egg and cook it makes a good pizza base.

    Cook in cream soda add fruit makes a nice warming breakfast
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Really? Are you really talking about cous cous rather than semolina?

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    Sorry. Didn't mean anything bad. I've just spent many, many months
    in the land of cous cous and have never seen it used for anything like that.
    My late FIL did like it with buttermilk, sugar and sultans as a dessert.

    It can be quite flexible if you think outside the box. On Slimming World they do a couscous cake, though it is debatable regarding syns.

    You deserve extra thanks for being in 'The Land of Cous Cous' and for your excellent sig!

    I've tried to like cous cous for ages, it's just not happening! It's like bland torture. x

    bland I can take, its the texture, that awful in between type food where I never know whether to chew or just swallow it. Am finding the best solution so far is cooking it in lots of stock and having it a bit like mash / mush potato.

    I use mine to give the Sunday roasties extra crunch. After the potatoes are parboiled and shaken up to rough the surface but before they go in the hot roasting tin , I drizzle a small amount of oil, a handful of couscous and give another shake to cover the potatoes. Hth!
