Couscous (sorry i did use two words didn't I?)is small balls of durum wheat pasta. You pop some in a bowel and cover with hot water or more likely some tasty stock and leave the little pasta balls to absorb the stock and any flavours you put with it.
I'm doing some at the moment and I'm going to rehydrate the couscous with veg stock and I've added some crushed garlic, some Moroccan seasoning mix and some chopped dried apricots. You'll likely find couscous in a middle eastern store, it's quick and tasty and can accompany lots of meals. Here in the UK it's often cooked and served cold with things like chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and cucumber added to it to make a choice in a cold buffet). If you google Moroccan food like tagine stews you'll come across couscous too. Hope this helps.
