I can smell the saffron from here…

I just refuse to buy saffron any more. The last time I looked at it at the grocery store, I did the conversion and it worked out to $144/troy ounce. They always claim it’s because it’s so laborious to pick, and if I thought for a moment that the people doing the picking were getting a significant fraction of that price, I might feel differently about it—but without any information on the subject, I know better.
