no rice involved at all
it was a metaphore
or something.
it's so much tastier than rice.
and it goes better in a salad.
its foul
it's those little bits of solid mucus you cough up when you're ill.
i made cous cous in primary school...at the tender age of...primary school age
Wut.
couscous needs to be flavoured
often with citrus fruit
nope
au naturale, buddy.
cous cous + salad cream = best meal you have ever eaten.
that sounds
like the most disgusting thing i can actually imagine right now. are you honestly claiming that is better than a donner kebab pizza smeared in garlic butter?
hmmm?
salad cream
is the most hideous thing I have ever tasted. Apart from that horse radish thing... that's worse.
you're both wrong
salad cream is a wonderful thing.
you're
only lying to yourself. and deep down you know it.
:|
don't be silly.
i had it for lunch the other day.
it's FANTASTIC. i highly reccommend it.
tsk
silly
what is
cous cous though?
I had some mexican flavoured cous cous the other day and i still dont know what it is
it's chopped up bits of rice.
that taste mildly pasta-y
and better with salad cream on.
vicious lies
lies. Vicious ones!
no it isn't
it's a different type of dried processed cereal. and it's disgusting
APRIL FOOL!
it's actually grains of semolina.
BLAM.
thats what i meant
BLAMOS!
i told one of my flatmates
that it was chopped up bits of rice.
i LOLed to myself that night.
Were the claims
it was nice april fools jokes too? cos they convinced nobody...
no it wasn't april fools,
it was around november. :)
imagine chopping up bits of rice. BEST JOB EVER.
Don't you love the sourness of sour cream?
It's like, "Fuck you taste buds"
Swooooosh.
Explosion.
Phhhoawr, that's some major taste madness.
Sorry, didn't realise you were talking about salad cream
It's like sour cream though/
Hang on//
It's not as sour though is it?
Yup.
sour cream >>>>>> salad cream
that is all.
*shudder*
I mean... it's like... the colour of pus... and eww... and BLAH. :S
Cous cous can be brilliant
with a good tomato sauce...as long as it isnt the hippy kind...
cous-cous
is rice for ponces. tastes funny.
so like
much of north africa is made up of ponces
LOL
I've just eaten
cous cous. its brlliant. better than rice and pasta any day. (unless its egg fried rice, that stuff is just mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
cous cous is good
earlier i had it with a peanut, carrot and tofu burger (which tastes so much better than it sounds).
Tofu???
Wut is Tofu? It sounds a bit veggy - in which case i wouldn't like it cos im a meat lover!!! ooh arrr
Tofu is great.
Soya Bean Curd. A kind of ... floppy white matter. An acquired taste perhaps. It absorbs flavours incredibly well though, like cous-cous, and so marinades very well. leave it with some grated ginger and soy and spring onions for twenty minutes, then fry it on a hot hot heat to seal the flavour inside, and it's amazing.
is it something to do with soya?
I love it
quick and easy, extra tasty. What's not to like.
its extra tasty
but disgusting
I love cous cous.
Nice texture, quick, tasty and flexible. Went though a phase of making loads of different types, with beans and pulses and herbs and spices and all different fried veg. Yup.
i would like to point out
i wasn't really dissing cous cous. it's just that i seem to have spent most of this week eating, along with my special recipe i like to call 'random vegetables thrown in a pan with a some stock and a tin of tomatoes thrown on top'.
most of this week eating
*it
!!!!
couscous is great !
no
it isn't!
yes it is !
isn't!
is!
:|
There's that
punctuational buttface of yours again...
rather that than eat cous cous
:P
this seems like as good a place as any
to state that i had tofu for the first time tonight, it was lovely! deep fried with pineapples/peppers/onions in a sweet and sour sauce. and so my gradual conversion to veggie-dom continues...
disgusting!
MEAT MEAT MEAT
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT
it's so neat to eat your meat
stop it!
i am slowly finding meat-free meals that are actually nice. meat is very convenient, but it doesn't really have a taste, i don't think. it's the stuff you put with it that makes the meal.
apart from bacon, which is just totally FIT. bacon would be the hardest thing to give up.
i ate two packs of bacon in less than 12 hours yesterday.
hooray!
they could've
been improved with hp sauce. i might have a bacon butty soon.
:)
two packs!
that's what, about 16 slices? that's more than one slice per hour! bloody hell!
i made a philly cheese steak today
one and a half steaks sliced up and fried and covered in fried onions and about a litre of melted cheese, in a baguette.
it's possibly the most unhealthy thing in the world (even worse than murder) but it tastes like a particularly lovely heart attack.
seriously, meat is the best thing ever.
meat
really is ace.
well, no
i made bacon and lentil soup for my tea = YUMMMMM
then
bacon roll (with KETCHUP obvs) for breakfast = YUMMM
co-op had 2 for 2.50 on, so how could i NOT?
fake bacon
(or facon as it is in our house) doesn't really taste like bacon tastes, it tastes like bacon smells, and bacon always smells better than it tastes anyway, so facon>>>bacon. Admittedly the cat will always eat the real bacon first given a choice between bacon and facon placed in front of him, but that doesn't stop him snaffling the fake half a second later. And he's a cat and he licks his own arse so I don't entirely trust him in the taste department.
Facon and quorn sausages are definitely good when hungover though, otherwise the veggie fry up is a bit too healthy and doesn't really help. Plus, it is easy for me to not eat bacon as it is rotting flesh carved off a dead pig's back, the idea of which i find totally vomit inducing. I'd rather eat a nice fried bit of fruiting fungus any day.
couscousharrikrishna
i dont
like it. Used to eat it in france all the time when I was younger but now, blurgh!
