Dish of Israeli couscous also known as ptitim or פתיתים‎ in Hebrew; 2009. x

Ptitim, also known as Israeli couscous, Jerusalem couscous, or Ben-Gurion rice, was a specific variety of couscous made in Israel during the times of austerity.  The times of austerity occurred in Israel due to the mass immigration of tens of thousands of Jewish refugees in a short time from the Middle East and North Africa, as well as from Europe in the aftermath of the Holocaust.  Ptitim was made when David Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel at the time, asked the Osem company to develop a substitute for rice to solve Israel’s hunger problem.  Today in Israel, Ptitim is a common children’s meal and new varieties of Ptitim have been made to appeal to different consumers, such as Ptitim made from whole-wheat or gluten free.

What is ptitim?

Since I got so much ‘hate’ mail for putting up ‘Israeli couscous’ salad recipe…

Maybe some people who sent that mail to me can do a little research for me. Like I do for them with the recipes.

I can't believe someone would even bother with something like that - 'how dare you say couscous is from Israel' etc.

I never wrote couscous is from Israel.

Even if I did, it's the couscous who should be insulted, my dear friend, not you.

I'm not mad about this at all, why would I be, I just can't believe how much hate is there. In general. Not just with the couscous.

And it's nice when we all learn something new, like today - there is a thing called Israeli couscous (which isn't really a couscous, but I'm guessing 'hating' people who couldn't pronounce 'ptitim' gave it that name).
