Need to correct my post, it's couscous, instead of coucus-coucus. Sorry for any confusion.
It's a a very very small piece of pasta. It's smaller than a grain of rice. I can get instant Couscous at Hy-Vee - it's located in the section where the instant rice is. It's popular in morocco. For the life of me, I cannot remember the brand I have used. But there are a lot of different flavors. My favorite is Garlic Parmesan.
Hope this helps. You can google it: couscous
The orignal kind is a painstaking process to make, but now they have instant available! Yum!

I make sweet pork burritos all the time. Put your pork roast 2-3lbs in the crock pot with a cup of salsa and a cup of brown sugar. Let is cook all day then I serve it with black beans and rice and some cheese roll it up and you have a great burrito. Serve with a side of lettuce and salsa, YUMMY. I have even done it with elk roast to. But pork is the best.
