I just bought some saffron to make some paella and this shit is more expensive than drugs.
 


Coke's only $5.99 a 24 pack :D

Soooo....yeah, that's definitely more expensive than coke.

/edit/ bastard edited it to be "drugs" instead of "coke". makes my funny not so funny :(

Saffron themselves are very light, so theres a bit there if you bought a full ounce, also did you make sure they actually gave you the good stuff, meaning you got the actual pollen stems and not so much extra crap?

Besides saffron, actual vanilla beans, dried or otherwise are the next most expensive spice you can still commonly get.

Speaking of saffron, I remember watching food network a few times and you just see em grab a handful of that shit and chuck it in and I'm thinking "dude... thats like 200$ worth of saffron you just threw in there..."'

It takes very little of that stuff to get some flavor out of it, especially if you make it with a rouge.

I remember on "Chopped" judges were actually making a comment bout the huge handful of saffron one chef threw into his pot. Comments like expensive, to 'thats gona be way too strong...'
 
^^Dude, go check out some of those apartments on Atlanta CL where the fags are looking for roommates. Snag the Saffron when the bitch ain't lookin. Suckerpunch and run if you have to. Couple of scores and you got a flight home in no time.

LoL the price of the flight to michigan was never a problem by the way. But it does look like I'll be on my way back there in a couple of days. Finally got the story on my grandmother, and she's really not doing well enough to stay out of an assisted living community.
 
Just be glad you know where to find some. Last time I went looking some guy tried to sell me a box of minute rice.
