Okay, at first I thought you had lost your hearing. Then I
decided to do some research. I have always thought of
risotto as rice. Every website I've been on refers risotto
to rice as one does pasta to wheat. I think it's rice. Shame
on you for making my lazy butt actually look something up🙂

I was also watching that one, and it was either right after,
or before Wolfgang Puck. Surely it could not have been him!

Orzo is a pasta that looks like rice; risotto is a dish made
of rice. Two different things.

I thought I must have heard wrong, so I turned to see the
tv, in disbelief, and they said 'pasta' again. All I can
think is (obviously), it must have been orzo ... or the host
was wildly confused. Got me.

Sounds about right, FoodTV doesn't even seem to know what a
chef is anymore or what it takes to be a good one. Substance
is no substitute for somebody who fits the suit.

There's also a rice-shaped pasta called riso. It can be used
the same way as orzo.

I have to give them a pass on that, the guy was a host of a
show that covers food festivals, no claims that he's a chef
that I know of. But really, I was taken aback. I hope
someone else sees the show and can tell me I didn't have
some kind of dream or something.

American Festivals, it was a pasta sauce competition.

Yoose research skills SUCK, BIG TIME!

Risotto is *NOT* rice. Risotto is a friggin' *RECIPE* [DUH]
(a method of cooking), one that generally uses rice... but a
perfectly good risotto dish can be prepared with orzo, or a
mixture of orzo and rice.

risotto [rih-SAW-toh, ree-ZAW-toh] An Italian rice
specialty made by stirring hot stock into a mixture of rice
(and often chopped onions) that has been sautéed in butter.
The stock is added
1/2 cup at a time and the mixture is stirred continually
while it cooks until all the liquid is absorbed before
more stock is added. This labor-intensive technique
results in rice that is delectably creamy while the grains
remain separate and firm. Risottos can be flavored
variously with ingredients such as chicken, shellfish,
sausage, vegetables, cheese, white wine and herbs. The
famous risotto Milanese is scented with SAFFRON. The use
of Italian ARBORIO RICE is traditional in the preparation
of risotto.

I saw it as well. They definitely said "Risotto is a type of
pasta..."=20 No, you're not crazy or hallucinating. But that
host obviously is. --=20 Donna A pessimist believes all
women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.

I may have heard Julia Child or Jacques Pepin say that a
particular orzo dish has a name that was very similar to
risotto - the name meant rice-like, because it was creamy,
like a risotto.

Oh, thank you!!! (laugh) It was so bizarre that I thought,
you really weren't paying close attention, you must have
misunderstood or missed something they said earlier.

Thanks, Donna. nancy

"ORZO" is a pasta that looks like Rice. In fact it's really
cool. But if they said Risotto then they were totally
utterly and completely WRONG!!
