Couscous: grain or pasta?

[Carol&Marc 0]

Really. Here's an example:

We call Cuscuz Paulista, the recipe has tomato sauce, water, corn oil, chicken sauce, green pimento, red pimento, hearts of palms, peas, red pepper sauce, 2 eggs, 2 cans of sardine, green olives, and finally yellow corn flour. It's called cuscuz because of the yellow corn flour than when mixed with boiled water becomes like a pasta. Well that's the best i can explain this recipe in english

WOW! This is interesting! Definitely NOT the couscous I am talking about... It sounds good except for the sardine part! Ewwwwww.... I really think I would like it, because I like all the ingredients you have listed (except for the sardines, of course).

Here is the 'Cuscuz' from Northeast of Brasil.

It is basically cooked with salt on steam, and served with coconut milk or butter... You can cut it, but still looks like grainy flour, but doesnt fall from the spoon... Hard to explain in english...

They usually have it for breakfast and anytime you want. My grandma and my mom likes to have it in the afternoon with a good cup of coffee.

Yummy!!! My grandma is from Northeast and usually makes it for us on Sundays... Dang!!! I miss it, even knowing how to do it, its not the same as my grandma...

And I think its a grain...

epa! Let's do it. No i haven't had nordestino, actually the only one i know is that paulista one, and i'm not even paulista I think cuscuz is more like a nordestina food right?

Grain [ 23 ] [45.10%]

Pasta [ 22 ] [43.14%]

Hmmm... a compromise is needed

Got it
