I don't eat it anymore, but I ate it alot back in the day.

It's very versatile. You can pretty much use it as a rice substitute, it goes well in stews, sauces, bakes, salads etc...

Try cooking it in milk and adding some fruit, honey, nuts and sultanas to it. Makes a good desert that way too.

I prefer bulgur over cous-cous

Why so, Rahf?

EDIT: And where the hell do you get that from? This is the first time I've heard of it and I'm pretty sure we can't find that in an Australian store.

does the milk have to be warm to cook it properly?

I really love couscous but I'm rarely creative with my cous.
Couscous+shrimps/tomatoes is my fav anyway-

Cous-cous is soo fucking epic, it goes well with fresh fish such as Bream.

It always reminds me of that hot water systems brand 'Rheem' and their catchy TV adds.

I don't really fancy couscous, bulgur has a better taste for me.

How do you normally cook your cous cous?

You can boil it up as normal (on the stove) and then add milk. Or, heat the milk on the stove and then add the cous cous.
Alternatively, you just mix the cous cous with water/or/milk and microwave it.

Easy.

Divine Heresy are opening for Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility and Firewind (?) on their new tour, but I'm seeing Iron Maiden that night instead.


I've never had cous-cous.

Birch

hmmm I would like to see Gus G live. Divine Heresy is absolutley cazy live.
Personally, I've never been a huuge fan of Maiden and I would choose the other concert over them. Maiden was actually here about two weeks ago.

EDIT: Yes, you heard me correctly, they are in fact very cazy

I know they were there, my dad saw their tour plane at Sydney Airport a night or two before the Brisbane show.
I just saw them last week or something like that haha
I would like to see the other show, but I like Iron Maiden more.
