>they don't know and can't tell that we've substituted inexpensive safflower stamen which gives the same exact colour and flavour

The safflower poster has to be the weirdest, most niche dude here.

And no, they don't taste similar

Thy don’t taste “similar,” they taste, smell, and impact identical color.

Most people have never, and will never, have real saffron because the restaurant trade exclusively uses safflower.

so what the fuck does it matter?

[Anonymous No.13437647]

It absolutely does not have the same flavour because I fucking HATE the flavour of saffron (tastes like chewing on muddy tin foil) and don't mind the flavour of safflower.

The two plants don't even look alike, so it's not like I'd have confused one for the other.

Autumn crocus is easy as fuck to grow, just don’t let your pets near it if you love them.

>picked it myself

there's your problem, you have to harvest saffron before the sunrise and in a low humidity environment, or it will taste like shit. you can't just go out midday, find a wild saffron flower, and pick good saffron.

Saffron doesn’t grow wild and is easy to cultivate. If anon was picking from the wrong wild look-alike he’d be bitching about getting poisoned instead.

Not everyone lives where you live, Anonipoo. Some people live in countries which grow saffron crocus plants. btw, wtf is the plural for crocus in English? Crocuses? Croci? Croque madames?

Domesticated saffron literally doesn’t grow wild. If you’re going out and picking wild saffron you’re either trespassing in someone’s garden/farm or straight up not picking saffron.

[Anonymous No.13437775]

Where did Anon say anything about picking wild saffron? Where did Anon even imply that the saffron was wild?

[Anonymous No.13437823]

>>13437775
It’s implied in the post when they talk about countries that grow it because you can bring the bulb inside even when the winters are really cold.

[Anonymous No.13437857]

>>13437641
Because you can get a big pillow sized bag of safflower stamen for $20 and the equivalent amount of saffron would cost $50,000!

They control the saffron trade and use it to launder money. Safflower is Hezbollah-free.

saffron is not that expensive, because you need very little of it to season a dish. Do you think a renowned restaurant would risk screwing its reputation just to save like a dollar or two on a dish? And no, saffron and safflower can be recognized by anyone whose tastebuds are worth a shit.

I can walk to a store near me and buy tins of saffron, black truffles, and sturgeon caviar... expensive but it's readily available. I've gotten a small bit of saffron for some rice, really does go a long way, even the like gram I bought of it.

his whole thing is talking about how well it emulsifies and thickens sauces
at first i thought he was some kind of shill or shitty memer and yelled at him to stop shitposting about it constantly
he responded with basically 'lmao have you even tried it' and no i hadn't
so i got some from a friend who already had some to try it myself
tl;dr works exactly as hexametanon said it would
had to figure the ratio out myself but it truly does make my sauces emulsified just the way i want
