LOL.
I think of "saffron" as the color of Buddhist monks' cloaks. I cannot
afford saffron spice for cooking, even if I knew what to do with it.
In early '80s I was buying spices at small neighborhood grocery store. In
the alphabetical display there was a small note -- "Ask At Counter for
Saffron". I did so out of curiosity. "Oh. It's so expensive that we
keep it off the shelves."
Do you suppose some conniving breeder conned the NGS into adopting
"Saffron" as a term? Instantly increasing value of his/her pups? Like a
stock market coup? (*grins*)
