    Yo, bro.... That looks like it's come out rather well

    I like risotto - not had one for a while. I'll need to rectify that.

    I love risotto, but I really dislike Arborio rice. I find it too pudding-like in texture; so I use long grain rice instead.

    Sorry!

    Risotto is meant to be pudding-like, but hey, you like what you like...

    What did you have for tea tonight? You were posting regular pics of your salads, now that's dried up.

    Marco.

    I think the pic looks shit.

    Looked fab in reality and it was cheap to make like a lot of the best dishes. Price doesn't come into it, but skill and appreciation does.

    It tasted excellent.

    As I said before earlier in the thread, just a mid priced Villeroy & Boch plate.

    You might say your plates are "just mid priced", but at nearly £64 for two, courtesy of John Lewis, they are expensive. Elegant looking, but nontheless expensive.

    Not that has anything to do with the food served on them.

    If that's what they cost it's like saying "I'm just wearing a mid priced Ralph Lauren suit". It might be mid priced in the Ralph Lauren range but not in the wider suit market.
