Sam's First Smoked Salmon Risotto

Of course, it has not all been plain sailing, and it would be unfair to give a biased representation of Sam's responses as successful. We all know Sam is picky when it comes to food. Therefore, mention must be made some failures encountered so far, that started with the smoked salmon risotto with courgettes and dill. Although the scent of a gently bubbling risotto with the oak smokeyness of a wonderfully juicy cured salmon is enough to entice many to dinner, it was not so for Sam. After bravely promising to try the dish for dinner one night, after much prodding and poking and only a few mouthfuls, only half of his plate was eaten, the other half being forlornly left on the side of the plate like some unattended baggage. This is despite knowing it's rich nutritional value, the lean protein, high omega-3 content linked to reduction in heart disease.
So safe to say, risotto has not gone down too well, and as such, there is no photo as the suffering of this dish was just too much for poor Sam.
Sam's comments:
Didn't like it. Salmon is foul! 3/10

The attempts to get Sam to try quiche did not even reach the eating stage, which is some what of a disappointment, given that I'd prepared Jamie's italian ham and spinach quiche including the cheesy seasoned pastry. Oh well, I guess Sam will never be a quiche-eater!
