Cayenne pepper: A well-known, pungently aromatic condiment, the dried berry, either whole or powdered, of the Piper nigrum.

Note: Common, or black, pepper is made from the whole berry, dried just before maturity; white pepper is made from the ripe berry after the outer skin has been removed by maceration and friction. It has less of the peculiar properties of the plant than the black pepper. Pepper is used in medicine as a carminative stimulant.

Choukrane, P~G~ for the clarity.

I have Already eaten at least four varities:
1-Coucous with meat and sauce: prepard by the same recipe shown in this thread.
2- Couscous with fish: I ate it in the eastern part of Algeria.
3- Mesfouf: Coucous with beans to take with curdled milk.
4- Halhal: Sweet coucous (with suger)

Do you know how many varities of Algerian Couscous are there?

I can add:
5- Maqfoul: Couscous with steamed vegetables .. is that your Mesfouf but it's a speciality of the east!
6- Obviously you find Couscous salad in the western countries although I never acquired the taste!
That's all for now!

Hey Amina_Imen, ehmmmm, you should be a good cook!
Yes, El Mesfouf (L'Mekfoul)is the specialty of la kabylie I think, you can find it though everywhere in Algeria, I used to eat it at S'hour during Ramadhan (just a little), it added to my hunger during the day

Thanks for your input
