I remembered this thread when I was in DR and was looking for vanilla. I imagined pure Dominican vanilla would be falling off the grocery store shelves. All I found was vanilla extract with (gasp!) with some type of corn syrup added. I usually use Morton and Bassett from the US, but thought I could pick up a less expensive Dominican brand while visiting.
Can you get pure vanilla in DR (Santo Domingo in particular) without visiting expensive specialty stores?
