<<< The Barony of Aquaterra will be hosting Ursalmas in January. We
will be having a feast after the main action Saturday night and the
Lady in charge of the feast has been convinced to use soy sauce
instead of Murri. (Also, she's also replacing Saffron with Turmeric
because "Saffron if the most expensive spice in the world." We'll work
on that.) We have 5 months to come up with something so, please, any
help would be greatly appreciated. >>>
Yes, saffron can be expensive, but you usually don't need much.
Turmeric will add color, but no taste.
Do not buy saffron from the grocery store. The prices are high and the
quality is poor.
