I'm surprised that anyone could say saffron doesn't impart much 
flavour. I can certainly see people not _liking_ the flavour, but the 
saffron I've used has a very strong (relative to the amount used, of 
course) and distinctive flavour.

Oh, and people might like to look at http://www.saffroninfo.com/ -- 
modern info rather than historical, however.
