Cous Cous Fest
Cous Cous Fest. Music, Seaside and Good
Food is the slogan that introduces the "Cous
Cous Fest", a peaceful culinary "summit"
which has become a symbol and link between
the cultures of the Mediterranean and elsewhere.

| Cous
cous by any other name… |
| Maftoul,
kseksou, cuscus, cuscussù, cascasa, sekso,
kskso, kuskus, kuski, burgul, tabouleh, in one
word bran, in two COUS COUS. Setting aside the
linguistic differences, cous cous is a universal
food, one of the world's most common dishes
today, along with rice and pasta. It is durum
wheat bran, fine as desert sand, skilfully ground
into fine grains then steam-cooked. Cous cous
may have originated as a "poor" dish,
but it is rich in history and tradition, dating
back from time immemorial. San Vito Lo Capo
cous cous celebrates the universality of this
food. |
| Cous
Cous the world over |
| Expert
hands move swiftly, skilfully and imaginatively
to create dishes rich in flavour and tradition.
Cous cous is a blend of brans and a blend of
cultures, a great excuse to invite the greatest
chefs from to San Vito Lo Capo for an appetising
competition for the Best Cous Cous award. The
prestigious title will be awarded by an international
panel of reporters, opinion makers and experts
from the fields of travel and enogastronomy. |
| The dish
of peace |
| A
blend of histories and cultures, cous cous is
a ritual that brings four continents together.
Peoples of completely different origins - not
only geographically speaking - come together
in San Vito Lo Capo, where gastronomic tradition
and hospitality meet history and religious ritual,
overcoming diversity and welcoming their differences.
Stands in the Cous Cous dal Mondo village and
the Casa del Cous Cous sanvitese will feature
the star of the show appearing in a host of
different versions with meat, fish and vegetables. |
| Wandering
palates |
| Man
shall not live by bran alone … and the
