A risoto isn't anything special, and most of the time people don't know what they're doing, splashing everything into the pot all at once...

But same here, I've had rice all my life and will continue doing so...with the occasional risoto here and there.

For the amount of effort needed to make risotto, it sure isn't all that tasty.

Plain rice is not as good as a really good risotto. Therefore I choose risotto. Kind of a strange comparison, though. It's like comparing plain noodes to chicken noodle soup.

uh risotto is rice. Typically arboreal rice. short grained.

depends on what I'm in the mood for.

for the asians, a parallel can be seen in the sticky rice they serve at dim sum. Not the banana leaf wrapped kind (nuo mi ji) but the stirfried with chinese sausage kind while adding a bit of liquid over time (nuo mi fan).

Eh? Risotto is a way of cooking rice. I guess it's not quite the same as chicken noodle soup compared to noodles, but it's pretty similar in the unfairness of comparison.

heh, my mom's restaurant specializes in risotto as a main dish.. when i used to serve there i had to explain it to 50% of the guests. that being said, its awesome when cooked with meat

yes, my post is a bit misleading. it is a way of cooking rice but typically traditional risotto only uses arboreal rice.

 

[torpid]

Arboreal rice sounds a little too difficult to digest. I like arborio though.

fine you got me.
