Has anyone used Madagascan Vanilla before?

i just made a cake for my brother but instead of using normal Vanilla extract i used adagascan Vanilla extract.

i tried a bit (the bits that get stuck to the silicon case) and the flavour was so much stronger and richer than normal, it almost had a completely different taste altogether.

but yeah, just thought i would share it with you all, if you haven't used it before then you should, it blows your mind at how awesome the taste is. I got it from sainsbury's at the normal price of the food flavourings. because of this vanilla, i think this is the best cake i have ever made

i will post a pic when its done ;)

EDIT: pic
is is about 15 cm tall and about 20 cm in radius

your normal vanilla could actually be more vanillin than vanilla. Or could have gotten lucky and found a more pure vanilla extract for crazy cheap (2nd most expensive spice).

you should mail me some in a little airtight box!

Its possible your other vanilla extract isn't real or high quality, seeing as vanilla is expensive as hell.

well unfortunately i forgot to take a picture as i had to rush off to college, but here is a pic i just took (look at first post)
