My wife refuses to eat Risotto when out as it's never as good as mine (preen,
slightly).
But it puzzles me that the French, who disdain almost every other national
cuisine as inferior, eat a lot of Paella. But never Risotto.
Of course, French Paella is always with prawns and chicken and not much like
the real thing.
I've invented Risotto Rosso - made with red onions, tomatoes, tomato paste,
smoked paprika. And a little chicken, but NOT red wine!
As a Vietnamese friend of mine says - Risotto - Viet for "who f**ked up the
rice?"
