| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - This Couscous meal was the greatest success in our most recent taste test. Everyone enjoyed it. The taste and consistency were real highlights and it really doesn't feel like it's just been rehydrated. There is some spice to this but it's not too hot. It is a bit drier than some of the other meals but that is more about the Couscous in general. |
