Plain Vanilla
Well, I was going to write a post extolling the merits of the Orlando vanilla pictured below, but the damned Internet has me all confused on the subject now. Is it real vanilla, or some sort of yummy synthetic? I don't know, but it's really, really good.
We bought the below vanilla in Mexico last winter (Derek's aunt had given it rave reviews) and have been enjoying it ever since -- it doesn't have the harsh flavor that our regular vanilla does, and it has been fabulous in baking and on ice cream. It says "Pure Natural Blended Vanilla" and refers to aged vanilla, soaking in rum, etc. Perhaps this means it's authentic? Either way, our bottle just ran out, so I'm on a mission (that will most likely involve grocers in Sunset Park) to find some more.
