Foodies learned about this coming pockey-clips a few years ago.
Do without and dream about scraping those tiny flecs out of dark brown pods, instead of trying the “vanilla flavouring” in the big bottle on the other shelf with the real low price.
You will thank me.
It is so very gross. Not even usable for a dash into oatmeal.
Vanilla and chocolate addict here. You’re full of something other than vanilla :) Synthetic vanilla works pretty well in everything except coffee, and it is not clear if this is due to ethanol in the real deal or not. Experiments every morning this coming week :)
I buy real vanilla and fake. I can’t tell the difference, but I’m sure I could if I got a hold of vanilla beans.
