strange flavors

There's saffron on these roasted carrots!

If I'd realized that from the start, I'd have been able to appreciate the flavor, rather than wondering why the carrots tasted so suspiciously odd.

Saffron is something of an acquired taste.

Normally I like the taste. Once I finally realized it was saffron on the carrots (on the last 2 slivers after finally noticing the tiny red saffron strings), it was fine there too. My problem was simply "these look like plain julienned carrots with a few grill marks on them, why do they not taste like normal plain carrots.. there must be something wrong..."

So yeah, I must not eat it often enough to immediately recognize the flavor.
