couscous is one of those foods that got so much confusion back in the day when it began picking up steam. julia child in the very early 1990s set it on its road to success with western audiences but many people including myself assumed it was a solid grain like rice for many years. this was of course in the 1990s when dial up existed and you had better things to do than read about couscous. It wasn't until years later that most of the public learned it was a pasta like food.I like all kinds of couscous now, but I do like the bigger varieties a lot due to how unique it looks and the taste is different because its toasted.

The two couldn't be more different. Taste different too. Couscous, to me at least, tastes like some kind of cereal, without the sugar.

Some foodies consider this grain product to be a type of pasta, but the similarity is only superficial — couscous is made of crushed durum wheat

yap, couscous is a semolina pasta product.

and this says otherwise.

Does couscous belong in the grain or pasta family?

Couscous (pronounced kūs kūs) has made a notable mark in North American cooking. While many believe that it is a type of grain, such as rice or barley, it is actually a type of pasta.

It is a pasta, just as Italian noodles, ramen, udon, and a thousand other 'grain thing crushed, moistened, formed into a shape' products. It's all pasta, unless you feel like inventing another word that covers all pasta products that isn't 'pasta'.

I think we're well pasta that point.

Couscous is indeed made from flour and is technically a type of pasta however it's cooked and served more like bulgur wheat or some other cracked grain.

So I kinda agree with both sides here.

Or disagree with them both!

I absolutely love couscous and use the main smaller variety for all kinds of salads.

I like the pearl couscous in my chicken soup. Toasted with some olive oil before cooking it with the water.

Pearl barley is pretty awesome in a chicken soup!

couscous is so freakin good

went to a conference once and ate basically just couscous because they had it available all the time

I thought couscous was last year's thing, and now everyone's moved on to quinoa?

Though the first I heard about that stuff was the "backlash" that decreed it to be unPC

oh man steakumms are so good, i used to eat one of these every day:

- fry a couple steakumms in a pan with some onions
- put them on a hamburger bun
- throw a slice of velveeta on the steakumms
- spread miracle whip and bbq sauce on the top bun
- assemble and enjoy

🤌

Those are great. I like to use them to make gyudon, eg Japanese beef bowls (beef & onions cooked in dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sake and put on top of steamed rice and then topped with a raw egg yolk and some parsley).

 

[SteveGrabowski]

There are some rules in the food world. Some rules and lots of no rules too, as in mix and match foods as you like. But, good quality beef, whether a steak or a burger, should be cooked medium at the most. Otherwise it's just not doing the ingredient justice. It's just that simple.

Come to the light, you will see the truth to this culinary rule.

For steak yeah, will never order higher than medium rare. I hate a thick steakhouse style burger though. Prefer really fatty thin patties smashed into the cast iron to basically get a fried texture. Smokes the hell out of my kitchen but the flavor is amazing.

There's a weird assumption in that article that if you're a vegan you have to support all ethical food issues. The beef trade has ravaged the south American ecosystem and native rights but you're not expected to worry about that as a meat eater!

Also my main complaint about quinoa is how you pronounce it! See also chorizo!

Smashburgers! Only way to have them. I have a giant spatula and wooden dowel especially for burger nights. Quarter pound per person squashed and cooked until lacy.

Err you.can get frozen thinly sliced beef from Asian supermarkets. They are intended for hot pot or grill. And of course you can use it for gyudon or sukiyaki.
