BillB48 Posted February 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Probably not the answer you are looking for, but.... Back in the day I used to by clear vanilla from a pharmacy in Panama. It was clear and very potent and good... but that was before I knew what was in it. The good news is there was no lasting harm.. I think;) I don't know about the availability in the other ports, but if the vanilla that is available in the ports you listed is anything like the "good" Mexican vanilla, I really recommend you save your money and time. The last time I brought back some the of "good" Mexican vanilla it imparted a taste I just did not care for. I buy nothing but Nielsen-Massey from Williams Sonoma... I'm sure it can be found other places cheaper, but it is the real deal. Edited February 1, 2017 by BillB48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend really enjoyed the previous vanilla I brought her from Mexico and somewhere in the Caribbean quite a few years ago. But, thanks for the info. Any info is better than no info.
