Couscous stuff

[E31Shrew]

Not turning into a beardy sandal and cardigan wearing type, but does anyone know what the larger type of couscous is called? OH keeps buying ready made stiff from Sainsburys, but costing a fortune. The things are about 4mm diameter. Not the most gripping of threads

Dehydrated oscelot vomit, I think. At least that's what it tastes like.
