But he got some extra ones by mistake and gave them too me. But I didn't even notice this shit till I was done cooking it.

The fuck is "Israeli Couscous"??? Couscous is a North African dish, this meal is literally just dark meat chicken in couscous, I really doubt Isn'treal came up with the idea of putting chicken in it.

Anyway it tasted pretty good regardless.

Israeli couscous isn't even real couscous, it's a machine made pasta ball.

Israeli couscous is to couscous as imitation crab is to real crab.

"Israeli Couscous" isn't real couscous, it's wheat pasta shaped like couscous.

I could be wrong but I don't think it has to be from Israel, that's just the common name in English.

Israelis learned from the best (America) when it came to taking cuisine from other places, making one minor change and then claiming they invented it whole cloth.

It’s not called “Israeli Couscous” in Hebrew. It was developed in the early 50s when rice was an imported item.
