I don't like couscous all that much, either. I like it just ok, to have
every now and then in Moroccan restaurants. I love tajine and am willing to
"put up" with couscous for tajine.

When cooking at home, I sub bulgur for couscous. I like it better (but don't
*love* it).

Another food I have never been excited about: shrimp. I don't understand the
big deal. I keep thinking ti must be that I've had bad quality or
preparations. But I've had it often enough for that to be unlikely.
