My current pet peeve is grocery stores shelving couscous in the rice and grains section. It's PASTA! Drives me crazy, and likely results in some people believing that couscous is a small yellow seed that has some sort of health benefit. #couscous #seeds #pasta #grains #food #semolina #flour #groceries #botany

@colinpurrington I actually saw someone mis-correcting someone else with the “fact” that couscous is actually a grain the other day, so you’re probably right about the perils of that.

You’d think people might figure it out from the different sizes of couscous available! Some are big as peppercorns!

@cwicseolfor I've overhead that exact conversation before, too, and it was really hard not to get involved. Just as bad as when people are arguing about yams and sweet potatoes in the produce section. Don't get me started.
