Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

Have you ever thought of trying to grow and use the worlds most expensive spice, saffron? Honestly not sure if it even has a noticeable flavor or which dishes it would be great in. All I know is that it is expensive and has a good color.

I have thought about it. But I've been that flat out fencing and getting the property infrastructure sorted as well as the day job of magazine writing/photography, that I'm just going for the bigger easy wins lately! I'm actually finishing a short deadline story that was thrown to me by an editor now!

JChen, i think most saffron is grown in Spain where you have a climate that is so far removed from hat of Taranaki, warm dry summer. It might be quite a challenge growing on on the foot steps of Mt Egmont.
