  • Word Usage
    "Many of the food blogs I read were extolling the delights of Risotto and then the final straw - I was in the supermarket in the grains aisle, my handbag had slipped off my shoulder, I bent down to pick it up and when I stood up I was at eye-level with a row of Arborio rice, one of the main short-grained rice used to make Risotto."
