couscous
Couscous is treated as a mass noun in English, referring to the food substance as a whole rather than individual granules. Because it is uncountable, it does not have a plural form and cannot be used with the indefinite article "a" unless referring to a specific serving or type of the dish.
In culinary contexts, it is often paired with adjectives describing texture, such as "fluffy" or "steamed," and is typically served as a side dish or a base for stews and tagines.
