Puns in Risotto?

Someone found this site with a search for "puns in risotto."

As a matter of fact, I am going to make risotto tonight, with skin and fatty trimmings from a fat goose, which is, of course, oca grassa.

I was planning on making that anyway, having forgotten about Marinetti's use of that pun in the Futurist Cookbook. I did not even think about the pun until I started to write on what an amusing search engine request that was and realized "AH! I am making risotto with a pun tonight!" Go figure.

To understand the pun, translate into French.

Quit looking at me that way. I never promised you a great pun, I never even promised you any pun. This is a freebie.
