agree Wenjer Leuschel (X) : Couscous was originally from North Africa. It's 小米粥, not 粉蒸肉. The material can also be 粒状面粉.

Please take a look at these pictures. I think they make clear that couscous is NOT a porridge. It is actually closer to 炒饭 than to 粥。

neutral Wenjer Leuschel (X) : You are right about African dish. But it's not 粉蒸肉. It is a kind of 粥.

No, it´s not porridge. Look at hyperdictionary´s definition: "a spicy dish that originated in North Africa; consists of pasta steamed with a meat and vegetable stew"
disagree Ozethai : 肉粥跟粉蒸肉根本是两回事。

Why would you think it is porridge? Couscous has nothing to do with porridge. It is a dry dish, nothing "porridgy" about it.
agree Denyce Seow : No, no... cous cous is definitely not 粥. Look at http://www.kovr13.com/deweyrecipes/dr071399.htm,
