whose idea was saffron anyway

let's take this tiny part from a hard-to-grow flower that each plant only produces one of and which is really difficult to harvest and separate mechanically from all the rest of the flower and then use it in large quantities as a spice and a dye

that sounds like a really good idea, doesn't it

@Felthry to be fair, you aren't actually supposed to use a lot of it at all when cooking
