I fully understand that "vanilla" is understood to be "plain," and all that..., but truly, what is plain is all of that "vanilla ice cream" which is artificially flavored and mass-produced. When I was a kid, I helped make home made vanilla ice cream, using actual vanilla beans! There is NO COMPARISON between that and the crap most folks buy at grocery stores! There's NOTHING "plain" about real vanilla ice cream. It's extraordinary!
