From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OGD] you may try this at home interesting article on vanilla and some recipes : ********************** Viateur The article you refer to leaves out some very important information: (a) that India is a fast developing source of cultivating Vanilla orchids and products, and (b) the name of the plants being used. The main orchid for vanilla production is Vanilla planifolia; the Tahitian variety is Vanilla tahitiensis. See my article from "Orchids Australia" August 2000, at www.orchidsaustralia.com/vanilla.htm There are recipes for more than a few culinary dishes!
