I love cous cous. One of the highs of going over to France was Moroccan restaurants – I don’t think there are any in the UK. Vietnamese too, though we have Thai instead.

It is also one of my favourite dishes 🙂. I usually do it with meat, but this version is very practical

We jusy have the instant, pour on boiling water, cous-cous. But my wife does not really like it and the portions are always for two people, so I end up trying to measure half-portions.
Did you used to have semolina at school? That was the dessert that *everybody* hated!

We have some semolina based sweets in Italy, but they are not so common. I used to hate the pasta (pre-cooked) that we ate in the school cafeteria. 🙂😉

yes, we had sometimes tinned spaghetti on toast, carb + carb! These days I eat very little pasta because it puts my sugar high.

I know, my brother has diabetes and heart problems. He’s always very careful in eating pasta, rice etc. 🙂

In some ways, a shame because it is an easy meal. It is a double effect because often ready-made sauces are high in sugar too. (But I bet you make your own 🙂). Fortunately I tolerate rice quite well.

Yes, I make even bread at home, but in general I don’t like to spend hours in the kitchen so I often go for recipes that are practical. 🙂
