Safron is widely used in making chicken pot pie aka slippery pot pie or Bott Boi in the area around Lancaster county, Pa. where I used to live but oddly I don't see it mentioned on the various food sites ???
The Amish actually grow it down there. I guess they do it for the novelty, and they always like to make a buck. I live 90 minutes away, and the local Amish bring it up from Lancaster. They all like growing novelty crops like unique pumpkins and flowers. They also like breading exotic dogs in puppy mills. Unique and $$$.
