In Italian, riso means both rice and laughter. They come from two different Latin words that ended up spelled the same *(Risotto = riso + -otto; riso "laughter" from Latin risus, rice from oryza)*. So a risotto isn't a little smile, whatever your face does when it arrives. This one was orange and creamy and made a fair case. RR
