Chocolate vs. Vanilla

[AuroraGyps]

My wife has this great vanilla-scented body wash...

...oh yeah, vanilla all the way...

I managed to get the last chocolate Suave body wash before Xmas... mmmmm, so good. However, when It comes to ice cream, I voted vanilla, because it's the perfect base for ANY topping. A couple of my favs are chocolate syrup w/ flaked coconut or just a sprinkle of malt powder on top.

This poll is wrong. I like both, mixed together. But I'm going to vote chocolate, because I like it better by itself. And to make people mad.

I'm an admitted chocoholic. And I can't believe vanilla is winning. Blasphemous!!

 

[GreyShadow]

Chocolate all the way!

Chocolate is a great taste on its own, but Vanilla is as well and is a great enhancer to many other things. My vote has to go to Vanilla.

Oh, and the results are still visible for me.

I immediately assumed "ice cream" when I saw the choices and did not consider all the other myriad uses of those flavors. Am I wierd?

Still, vanilla rules!!

And I can see the results.

Vanilla is winning because vanilla is italicized.

The Aztecs did that without sweeteners. I think most tongues used to candy chocolate would cringe at chocolate without sugar and with chilies.

Quite true. There are a few Mexican dishes that call for unsweetened cocoa, though. And my wife uses unsweetened cocoa in her chili.

Edit: Oh, and I can still see the poll.

I like both, but I voted vanilla because it is better. I too can see the results.

I went with chocolate because I am a chocoholic. I like vanilla also, but not to the same degree.

I love all kinds of chocolate, but I really enjoy trying and comparing different kinds of dark chocolate. I find that different dark chocolates can have amazing subtleties in their flavor, similar to the way wine from different regions does.

So, for you vanilla connoisseurs out there, I am wondering: where do you find top notch vanilla flavor? Are there different varieties with subtlties like dark chocolate? I am just wondering if I have never experienced a really good vanilla.
