Mar ger avel safran.
As dear as saffron.
By Unknown
For most people, saffron is a costly spice that evokes thoughts of far-off, exotic places, but for centuries, it has been readily available to the Cornish, likely due to long-established trade links. As a result, 'tesen safran' (saffron cake) and saffron buns, known as 'torthellow safran', are popular in the region.
