So much going on in the world and yet so many rubbish news sources find non-news stories like this.

Just for the record, I pronounce it 'Spanish Risotto' and if I want to sound really Spanish, I will call it 'España Risotto'

Here's another similar question, when pronouncing a city of another country shouldn't we be saying it as that country says it, Italy has a lot of examples, why even have Naples when its Napoli? its quite a jump, I know history has a big effect on it but if you asked for train to Naples near Italy wouldn't you get confused looks a bit?

When travelling, I have always used the language or pronunciation of the country I am in. No doubt, getting most of it wrong. Many times I have been met with the 'Oh, English?' and then the person starts to speak English rather than their native language.
