I actually like quinoa

Well, there's not much to dislike I suppose, cos it doesn't taste of much, but I like the texture of it, and the shape pleases me

It also makes me feel virtuous eating it, though I must admit I do like it smothered in olive oil, which I suppose defeats the object rather!!!!!

Couscous, nope, just don't like it, even when I add stuff to it.

What about fried polenta? That's another "interesting" dish!!!!

I buy the Ainsley Harriott cous cous, the roasted vegetable style and the spice sensation are lovely, usualy use it to stuff sweet peppers

reading this made me hungry, so just made some green thai cous cous, yum. we watched a chef on tv ( the female one, can't remember her name) cook polenta and she made it look soooo lovely, she was mmmm and rrrrring every mouthful---so went right out and bought some, did the recipe with cheese and it was ----HORRID--all in the bin. she must of been on a backhander from the polenta company.

well i had it.

i poured boiling water over it....added a chicken stock cube...and let it rest for 5 mins....then added cooked chopped peppers, red onins and chopped baby corn.

stirred in some hot chilli sauce.

yep it made a change and hubby liked it too.

i couldn't eat loads of it...but i'll do it again...and will also do some cold when i have one of my buffet parties

I serve it with chicken casserole instead of potato. I mix it all together so it's not the main ingredient. Just a texture.

I like my cous cous mixed with chopped up roasted veggies and cubes of feta cheese, then stuffed into a whole roasted pepper.
