It's kind of like Mexican beer, you can't quite put your finger on it, but it just tastes different, more, "down home."

Do you like Mexican vanilla? What is your favorite type of vanilla to bake with?

I love it! I know a lady that makes cakes for a living that says Madagascan vanilla is the best, but it is very expensive. I love the Mexican one and I'll stick to that.

I like Mexican vanilla too. It's not something I use a lot so I don't mind paying more.

By far, Neilsen Massey, Madagascar vanilla. Worth the cost.

My neighbors go down to TX near the Mexican border so they pick me up a couple bottles of the Mexican Vanilla every year. I give one to my sister as she does most of the baking. At the price of real vanilla up here in the states, I'm glad my neighbors think of me when they're down there. I look after their house while they're gone so its a win-win for all of us.

I love the Costco vanilla.

When I buy cinnamon though, I buy the "Mexican" and not the "Amercian" type. When taken as a supplement it did help my diabetes/glucose numbers (spoonful into a small cup of unsweetened applesauce was how I usually took it) and it is fine to cook with too.

You can make vanilla with vanilla beans and a bottle of vodka or rum, let sit in a dark closet for a few months, shake ever now again. Has a great taste.

I used to buy the Cooks vanilla but I also changed over to the Mexican. You are right it is wonderful.
Patricia, what are the portions to make your vanilla? That sounds fun.

our neighbor brought us back Mexican vanilla when she and her husband visited down there and it was wonderful.

I've done that...used vodka. It was really good! Now, we have almonds, so I make a big batch of almond extract with pre-soaked almonds and vodka. Also really good!
