Reply to: Does Couscous make you f*rt?

[Sysman]

Couscous is cracked wheat. If you have mild gluten or wheat intolerance then it will make you fart. Unless you are really sensitive when it gives you full on IBS, bloating, mucus filled squits and stomach cramps.

I always thought it was semolina.

Yes it is

Couscous is a traditional Berber dish of semolina (granules of durum wheat) which is cooked by steaming.

But semolina isn't always made from wheat

Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat used in making pasta, breakfast cereals, puddings, and couscous. The term semolina is also used to designate coarse middlings from other varieties of wheat, and from other grains such as rice and maize.

You live and learn.

Well just had a big plate of noodles, veggies, beef (possibly), pork (maybe) and chicken (hopefully) and already the temperature has gone up by a couple of degrees...


I remember when I was young, my parents used to call them 'trumps' which I think is a brilliant word

A lass from Castleford introduced me to the word "trumping". It's very descriptive.

Yes of course it makes you fart. All those Berbers sleeping in the Atlas mountains needed a way to keep the tent warm at night without central heating, so they developed food that makes them fart. Likewise, the Dutch developed their mashed spud, cabbage and onion dishes, the Germans and the northern Italians eat sauerkraut and the British eat baked beans. If it's cold at night, the best food is food that makes you fart.

'tis gems like this that keep me visiting CUK.

Keep up the good work.

Phwoar!

I don't eat couscous so I voted no. On the few occasions I have, I remember no ill effects but I thought couscous was just rice?

Couscous doesn't just make me fart, it puts me on the toilet for days.

Note to self: need to stock up on gluten free pasta.

[darmstadt]

That's dealing with the effects.

Far better to stop the cause.

WTF!!!
Where was he intending to sleep if you weren't hog-tied with your naked arse in the air???

On the other side of the double bed of course.

[Dactylion]

No, the image you didn't need was me bollock naked on a double bed in a hotel in Dunkirk, with the duvet twined between my legs like a rope, and my bum in the air.

My roomy, after returning from a bar on a ship, decided to sleep on the floor using the hotel towels as makeshift pillows and blanket.

He does say it was an enduring image.
