Where does /ck/ get their vanilla beans from? The only local place I could find that even had any charge $15 for one vanilla bean.

I have a friend online who lives in Madagascar who sends me them for free since they are worthless. He only asks that I send him cans of chef Bogarde lasagna throwback edition

Supermarket, but it's true that they're fucking expensive. €4-5 a bean here. They used to be €2. I only buy them once a year for Christmas crème brûlee though so it's not like I suffer from it

Unironically just buy them on Amazon. I do, you can get different grades of Madagascan, Tahitian, or Mexican vanilla at price ranges of $1-3 per bean. What's wrong with you guys? How do you forget to check the #1 international online marketplace?

I spent days trying to find them for Valentine's day, ended up finding 2 for $15 from whole foods, amazon has them cheaper however the reviews are spotty, lots of people saying they're dried out and cracked.
