Saffron looks great though. I have never been able to get the right colour
with the dodgy imitation stuff you get. For a yellow colour, nothing goes
past real saffron.  The only think I don't like about it is the cost. I
don't worship spices, although I would be lost without them. Love the
smell, love the tastes.
