Posting here for more coverage. We can buy real vanilla at the Mexican food store.

That's all.

Thank you for the update.

Is the vanilla "real" based on the word of a Mexican?

Real Mexican vanilla is good. We have a bottle of real vanilla from Haiti. It has a very distinct vanilla flavor so I cut back a little. I’m still searching for my perfect vanilla.

hmmm, My wife is the cook, she has like Mexican vanilla for years

Good stuff. Buddy fishes Cabo every year and brings some back.

If I get motivated here I'll pull up my vanilla files from a old hard drive that's laying around here some where.

Mexicans had the market cornered for a long, long time and for very good reason.

The same ethic store has goat, lamb legs, and many items I don't know what they are.

Prepare yer self to become edgeumicated on Vanilla for free, compliments of the Fire and an old Orchid Monthly magazine article I stole from its pages.




Does a little orchid trivia make you feel smarter?

Interesting but I don't feel any smarter....yet, maybe later.

Vanilla, glitter, and a donkey. What’s not to love about Mexico?

Wifey going on cruise week after next, she will get some I’m sure.

I add a teaspoon of Mexican vanilla to my cheesecake - perfect touch.

I make my own vanilla extract out of a pint of Tito's vodka and a handful of Madagascar vanilla beans. Super easy to make.

Watkins. Comes out of a bottle.

But a total pain in the azz to make a Vanilla bean.
