Actually, I do not find that the French "disdain" other cuisines. Paris is
full of non-French restaurants, with locals happily eating there, and most
of the French people I know, whether family or friends, are much more open
to trying other foods than the Spanish, or even Italians.

Paella here (and "here" means the Valencia region, where the dish
originates) can be either with seafood (paella de mariscos) or
chicken/other mean (paella de carne).

As for risotto, I would not consider making it without white wine.

Cheers,
Nathan
