Damn! One more strike against me in the Fool's book.

Arright! Poll time:

A) I like celery and hate artificial vanilla

2) I hate celery and can't tell the difference between artificial and real vanilla

Þ) Neither of the above

If I were making ice cream, I'd use real vanilla. But for baked things, most people can't tell the difference. Most baked goods you buy must have synthetic vanilla, because I am quite sure there just isn't enough hatural vanilla.
There are coffee tasters, I have read, who can tell if the cup has a minute crack that can hold an off flavor. I'm glad that I can enjoy coffee that's not perfect.

þ: Celery reminds me of my dad and therefore I like it, but only by association, and I've never knowingly tasted real vanilla.
