Years ago, I was convinced that saffron's "taste" was more mental than anything else, so I ran a little matched pairs experiment to see if anyone could taste the difference between a rice dish with saffron or one without. No one could.
Admittedly, it was too small of an experiment to be sure, but it just seems like a very expensive food dye to me.

I'll just stick to turmeric.
