 It did get a smile out of her! Now I had the chance to ask, and apparently it is called "pearl barley".

 Ah that's the best stuff!

 It is! I really like it.
 

I also prefer pearled couscous.

 Glad that recipe worked out for you two. I was off to pork vindaloo land and yet the barley beckons yet...

 You should do it! Just make sure to get a good bottle of wine. Since it
was sunday we could not buy alcohol, and at home we only had too good
wine for cooking, so in the end we had to settle for some non-alcoholic
that was a bit too sweet for my taste. No a hueg difference, but I do
think a more dry wine would make it taste even better.

Sorry, that was for the cooking. Red wine is the invention of the devil! Nothing gets me as hung over as red wine. I can drinks liters of beer, I can add vodka, rum and other stuff... but one drop of red wine and it's game over.
Cider on the other hand, now that's ambrosia! I prefer dry, french or spanish cider.
