+1 steve "they call me mellow yellow"!! saffie is my fav spice but bolas & madge aren't keen....guess it is one of those flavours...love it or hate it.Not a huge fan of turmeric myself, though I use it in Indian cooking. For most everything else, I prefer saffron. I just love the stuff, especially in Paella.
In the words of pop singer Donovan, "I'm just mad about saffron..."
we are so mad about saffron we named a town in essex after the stuff!
apparently it used to be called chipping walden(presumably because they liked chips!)then,in the 16th century,they started growing saffron there & liked it that much the name of the town was changed to saffron walden!
