What have you just eaten??

Have you soaked it for long enough? are you doing it plain with water? Use a stock cube and some herbs& spices and it's yum.

I would make the cous cous (with beef) use a beef oxo, some garlic pepper and some mixed herbs.

When I do it normally I use a chicken oxo, cumin and garlic pepper. :)
 
I got them in Asda I think, the fruit ones are 2.5 syns each and the chocolate ones are 2 syns each! Although they are small they last ages.

A trip to Asda is on the cards for me tomorrow then - then sainsburys next door or Morrisons down the road if I have to! I must track down some of these little beauties :p;)
