if you eat your soup with a T or 2 of turmeric while watching TV as I often do instead of properly at a table, you sometimes get those yellow drips down the front of your clothes. I notice them when Im hanging my clothes on the line. Woops there's another load to soak in the O2 bleach over night(!). I haven't tried turmeric with salads, but I know you can add it to just about anything that uses oil. I don't notice the flavor too much and I use a whole lot of it. i eat the soup nearly every day or every other day and I make it with 1 or 2 T of turmeric. I got a 5 lb sack of it from Amazon through a restaurant supply place and Im about half way though the sack after maybe 2 years. Yellow. Yellow!
I know it really belongs in curry, but I don't think Ive ever had curry--the dish that it goes in.
