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.
Isn'treally Couscous
Israel invented all world dishes btw
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.
