I recently found out that "Israeli Cous Cous" isn't real cous cous. I felt so stupid because it was always right there in the name - fake cous cous from a fake country.
is it even from israel? we eat something very similar (called tarhonya) and apparently it's been here for centuries. we got it from the south slavs who got it from the ottomans who got it from persia or somewhere in that area.
i actually really like tarhonya, but yeah it aint couscous.
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarhonya
correction, the hand made version is old, the machine made version may be copied from the israeli stuff. or it may be an independent invention. i dunno.
Famously, in fact. They couldn't make their traditional foods in Palestine, the plants just wouldn't grow, so their foundational cuisine is all simple anti-starvation recipes and half-assed substitute dishes. Now, you'd think that they'd adapt local cuisine, especially that of the local Jewish population. But no, couldn't even do that. Imagine the early US settlers refusing to eat corn or potato, that grade of stubborness.
I wish every Palestinian a very pleasant warm meal straight from the settler's plates.
Their food is shit though
Facts; I've seen what Palestinian food looks like and I wish every Palestinian the ability to cook their own food out the Israeli's stoves and ovens
God that palestinian cheese bread video i saw the pull was SO sinful and I need like a dozen of those tasty-lookin mfsI recently found out that "Israeli Cous Cous" isn't real cous cous. I felt so stupid because it was always right there in the name - fake cous cous from a fake country.

Israel taking something and claiming it as their property is also very on brand for a settler state.
It's from our region, it's from the Amazigh word "Sksu" which means rounded
