Zappron!

Current Mood:
CC is listening to:Nothing right now

When I was in Manila, my brother Noel and I had to go to the grocery store because he needed ingredients for a dish that he wanted to try that night. He needed to buy coriander, so we were in the spices section. We couldn't find the coriander but Noel at one point took a packet from the shelf and showed it to me.


"Zappron?" I asked, puzzled. "I've never heard of Zappron. What kind of spice is zappron?"

Noel shook his head. "Ate, it's saffron."

I near doubled over laughing. The picture's out of focus because I was laughing so hard I couldn't keep my hand steady.

"Zappron--sounds like the name of some outer space bad guy."

"Or a really bad movie."

"Or a video game. ZAP-pron!"

When I got back to the US I told Steve about it and showed him the picture, and HE started laughing. We'll never look at saffron the same way again :-).
