If we're talking about ridiculous overpriced foods I think saffron might beat out truffles for me. I've had it a couple times and i'm still not sure what it tastes like.
- tshanmu 8y agoYou need to have it in a sufficient quantity (Grandma used to give 4-5 filaments in a warm glass of milk) and with very few other ingredients to know it's real taste and smell. Part me still wonders if I liked more it due to its rarity or the coziness of staying over at Grandma's...
- kulahan 8y agoSame. It's not unacceptable to substitute it with a tiny bit of cumin to get the same color, since the taste of it is very subtle and easy to overpower. Even when you can taste it, it's not some miraculously incredible flavor or whatever, it just happens to compliment some other ingredients. I grew some at home once just to see what the real stuff tastes like, and while the flowers were pretty, I'd never bother with it again.
