Do you enjoy couscous?

[Mysterian]

Cous cous is nothing more than micro-fine pasta, same ingredients; pearled cous cous has larger grains. There are a jillion things you can add to it.

Let’s rebrand it as “Dippin’ Dots Pasta Salad”.

I think I ate it once but have no desire to eat it again.

Nothing, it is just pasta. We use it as a base for some dishes instead of rice. We don't use it often because it is pretty expensive here for some reason.

It is not the same as pasta. Pasta is made from ground semolina. Couscous is made from crushed Durham wheat semolina. It is also sometimes made from barley.

It's like the difference between steel cut and rolled oats. Completely different texture and flavor profile.

But it is still a type of pasta. https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-couscous-2355401

Asking if one “likes” cous cous is like asking if someone likes rice.
