i grew up eating new york vanilla, Kemps sells it – they service the midwest and the southern u.s., but not the coasts or new york. i live in california now and would love to find another company that sells it – know of any?

here in ny (where, incidenally, i have never heard of “ny vanilla”), we have three kinds of vanilla. vanilla, french vanilla, and philadelphia vanilla. the difference i thought was that philadelphia vanilla is mostly white and has bitty vanilla bean black specks (yum) while regular vanilla is just, ya know, regular and french vanilla is yellowish.

i like philadelphia vanilla best. has anyone else ever heard of it?

The fourth is Vanilla Bean, where there’s little dark bits of the bean in the ice cream. The bits look like coffee grounds, but have a much smoother texture. Dryers brand makes the definitive example… imho.
