Has anyone else tried giant couscous?

No it's not Bulgur, I first used it 9 years ago when I was making salads for DD's 30th and my deli sold it to me as Israeli couscous. Lovely mixed with roasted vegetables and a little harissa paste.

It sounds like Bulgur which looks like giant couscous.
Couscous is the tiny pearl which is in the centre of the wheat germ. if it is now a giant size it has been manipuated or is genetically modified .

I had it last night for the first time and MUCH prefer it to the ordinary stuff. It feels more substantial and filling. I did it with roast veg and feta but would love to hear other recipe suggestions if anyone has any favourites?
