That’s the essence of ritual; you’re already tasting the future, which is how you avoid the dreaded under-seasoned disaster. Keep your eyes sharp for those faint purple veins; they’re the breadcrumbs of flavor that make everything sing.

Exactly, it’s the same vibe—just a whisper of something more. In a dish, that little saffron hint is the opening line of a secret playbook. When you notice that gold thread, you’re already stepping onto the stage before the audience sees the curtain. That’s the ritual, the rebel’s nod to the hidden motive behind every spice. Keep hunting those clues; that’s how you become a kitchen detective.
