[edit] cost
Does anyone know why vanilla beans are so expensive? $15 for 2 of them! 72.90.244.182 00:30, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Ouch! What kind? Vanilla beans are very hard to grow and harvest- but that's just ridiculous. Tahitian beans are considered the creme of the crop, but even then should only cost $6 each. Madagascar beans are easy enough to get at $1.50 each. --24.37.235.244 01:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copytheft
http://www.food-info.net/uk/qa/qa-fi57.htm contains text from the Vanilla article without credit and on my browser put up an annoying popup that could not be dismissed without agreeing to a "scan" of my computer. I looked at one other page and it also appeared to be stolen material. 68.249.108.238 05:10, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] French Vanilla
The article isn't clear in it's definition of "French Vanilla". Currently it implies that "French vanilla" means vanilla and egg custard. This is consistant with the ingredient lists of Bryers Vanilla and French Vanilla ice cream. However, I read somewhere that "French vanilla" means "vanilla and brandy". I don't recall where I read this. Does anyone have more information? —BenFrantzDale 03:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image/Formatting Issues
For me, the "Longitudinal section of a vanilla flower" is partially obscuring the line of text above it. Could someone who knows how fix this? The Jade Knight 21:53, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- It looks fine to me at all window sizes with Firefox. What browser are you using?―BenFrantzDale 02:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

- IE 6. Doesn't matter how I resize the window, same problem. The Jade Knight 05:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

- I take that back. If I make the window big enough it's no longer a problem. However, it is slightly bothersome to have to make the window particularly large. The Jade Knight 02:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me, or do the pictures towards the bottom of the page, really belong in the medicinal portion of the page?? --CitaBean
[edit] vanilla powder and vanilla extract production?
-
- The Preparation section should say how the vanilla powder and the vanilla extract are produced. --68.96.241.18 11:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Smell
I really loves the smell of vanilla, it enchants me! I love it!
