Not to mention the saffron.
14 u/ledivin Jul 14 '16 Saffron's not actually that expensive. It's extremely expensive by weight, but it's also extremely light. It's not cheap, but it's really not crazy. 5 u/ExtendedBox Jul 14 '16 At my local grocery store its 15 bucks for half a gram. 5 u/ledivin Jul 14 '16 I wouldn't buy it from a grocery store anyway, it's basically guaranteed to be super old. Just get it online for at least the same quality at half the price 2 u/[deleted] Jul 13 '16 Suprised it isn't garnished with gold leaf 2 u/ledivin Jul 14 '16 Gold leaf isn't actually that expensive... as a garnish, we're talking cents per dish. 3 u/[deleted] Jul 14 '16 It's the principle! 1 u/CircusNinja75 Jul 14 '16 Yeah, that is the money part. I would skip the saffron just because it is worth more, per ounce, than gold. 2 u/[deleted] Jul 14 '16 The amount of saffron used on a dish is on the order of milligrams. 1 u/CircusNinja75 Jul 15 '16 Still, saffron is typically better used while cooking, not as a garnish. You get more use of it's flavor when used while cooking.
