Does anyone have a view on vanilla bean origin? I've been pretty consistently wedded to Madagascar beans as they always seem to be much more fragrant than Tahitian beans. When I was in LA, I could occasionally find some Mexican beans which were as good as Madagascar ones, but much cheaper...
Anyone else have a view?

ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember an episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown talks about vanilla beans coming from the flowering parts of certain orchid plants. But maybe that was just a weird sexual innuendo dream I had some night, as I find him adorably entertaining and educational.
