Please take a look at these pictures. I think they make clear that couscous is NOT a porridge. It is actually closer to 炒饭 than to 粥。

neutral  Wenjer Leuschel (X): You are right about African dish. But it's not 粉蒸肉. It is a kind of 粥.

  -> No, it´s not porridge. Look at hyperdictionary´s definition: "a spicy dish that originated in North Africa; consists of pasta steamed with a meat and vegetable stew"
disagree  Ozethai: 肉粥跟粉蒸肉根本是两回事。
11 hrs
  -> Why would you think it is porridge? Couscous has nothing to do with porridge. It is a dry dish, nothing "porridgy" about it.
agree  Denyce Seow: No, no... cous cous is definitely not 粥. Look at http://www.kovr13.com/deweyrecipes/dr071399.htm,
