Dear of troy: so interesting I can't come up with any
ribaldry. Synthetic vanilla is so good I used to buy it.
If I remember correctly, the name of the substance is diethyl coumarol, obtained from tonka beans. It is also present in sweet clover blossoms. Wilted white clover hay can be dangerous to cows at calving, because of a breakdown
product closely related to medication used to reduce tendency of blood to clot. Correct me if I erred, wofa, please. It's been many years since I read about it.
