Yes, I do. That was one thing that was stressed, in what I have
read.. It should be simmering, on the stove, ready to be added. And
it should be added only after the previous addition has been totally
absorbed in the developing risotto.

Then again, maybe she just doesn't like risotto.
Yeah, that is a possibility...

Still...I am one of those people that doesn't like to make
comparisons, til I have actually had it when it was made well and
properly. This goes for a lot of dished, not just risotto. But
risotto that is not made well, can be awful.... I know this, cause I
have done it!!!

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about. Stir, stir, stir,
gradually add stock, stir, stir, stir, add more stock, stir. What's all the
fuss about? It's rice.

LOL, you don't get panko either.

I believe in another thread recently she said she didn't like rice.
Potatoes were her preference.

There there's the different cheese: blues, wash rinds,

Are you talking about cheeses that are grated on top? I can only say
*that's different*.

Blue cheese and pumpkin, sweet potato, or pancetta is not uncommon. More
like little melty chunks at the end, than grated though.
Here's the sort of thing:

I think that sounds FABULOUS! I can't abide tarragon, and I don't think the
recipe needs it anyway, so I'd leave it out.

I've had one with bleu cheese, butternut squash and pancetta and it was
heavenly.

Heh, to each their own. I love tarragon, and can't stand pancetta.

Yeah, I think flat leaf parsley would be enough with the other strong
flavours. One day I'll give it a go though...you never know.

I don't trust anyone that doesn't like bacon.

How about people who don't know if they don't like it because they've
never eaten it, like my Jewish friend David?

Easy test, let him smell it cooking, and tell you if it makes him
want to be bad.

Old joke

A rabbi and priest on a plane next to each other start to speak.
After a bit the priest ask "is it true that Jews never eat pork?" The
rabbi answers yes it true, but I must admit as a young man, I did try
bacon, it was good.
After a bit the rabbi asks " is it try that you are celibate?" The
priest said , yes its true, but I must admit, as a younger man I did
fall to temptation and had sex with a woman parishioner. And yes it
was good.
After a bit of silence, the rabbi with a smile on his face, leaned
over and said, It was better then bacon, wasn't it.

Especially religious nutters who blaspheme against the sanctity of bacon.
