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'

Would you consider the words: thinking, thoughtful, three, thin, thread, or thieves to be a lisp?
Spanish has specific letters that call for the "th" sound /θ/. In a Madrileño accent, The graphemes "ce", "ci", and "z" all make the sound /θ/.
Regional dialects may have some variation on those rules, but this is the standard pronunciation.
I was just making a joke about the predominant Spanish pronunciation in Europe, with the "th", as you say, vs the predominant pronunciation in South America, where those those graphemes have distinct non-"th" phonemes. So it sounds like here in Europe they have a lisp, that's the joke
