[Sca-cooks] Saffron in Ireland

[Cathy Harding]

>> the Medieval period, "Indian saffron" was tumeric.


I recently had the experience of buying what I thought was saffron
(Labeled American saffron), on close examination was safflower.  I
returned it and gave a detailed explanation of why that it was a
misleading label and showed the real thing.  At least I was able to find
it in Central PA. it took some searching tho'
