Gad Elmaleh: his mother Régine puts an end to a heated debate
This Monday, January 31, 2022, Régine Elmaleh took the floor on the Instagram account of her catering brand, to put an end to a debate which divided subscribers about the origin of couscous! While some claim that the dish comes from Morocco, others have tried to prove that it is from Algeria. What the comedian’s mother replied: “Couscous is the dish that brings people together, that unites. A symbol of generosity and love, it doesn’t matter where it comes from as long as we all eat it together”. A very nice way to end this endless debate!
