Vanilla bean is not the same animal as regular vanilla and it wasn’t a choice

When I was a kid in Jersey, there was a place that made their own ice cream. They had just plain peanut butter ice cream, and it's still the best ice cream I've ever had. But short of that, peanut butter/ chocolate would be my choice.

I think vanilla bean is richer tasting. I don't know what the difference in the processing is.

Vanilla bean became a thing because of the specks of vanilla in it but they can call it that not actually making it from vanilla bean. I don't think it tastes better, in fact, not as much vanilla flavor as others.
I use America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country for a lot of reference and highly recommend it for anyone that wants to cook but doesn't have that art side of it down, that's me. My wife was a phenomenal artistic cook, I am much more on the science side.
One of the foods they taste tested was vanilla ice cream. Now, when I think vanilla ice cream, the last company I think of is Ben & Jerry's. They're like Howard Johnsons and their 28 flavors back in the day, which Bascom Robbins took from them. So, I decided to test this out myself because I don't think I have ever even seen B&J's Vanilla let alone tasted it.
So, I got pints of B&J, HD, Blue Bell, Dreyers and Breyers to compare. I even put it in single servings with a number on the bottom corresponding to the brand so it would be a blind taste test. At this point, I became glad I was alone except for the dogs and they're used to my behavior so they know to keep it on the down low. How many people attempt blind tastings all by themselves?
Now, what to use as a plate cleanser to keep the test on the up and up. I decided on Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle. Have no idea if that's a good palate cleanser but it's one damned fine treat and I wanted some and excuse to buy it.
I did this over two nights and tasted them all with the Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle interlude. Let me report, all were good, fine representatives to my now, monthly, iced dessert taste test that has branched out to include much more and a full freezer of losers that I can't throw away. There is no such thing as a bad freezer dessert.
But I must say, that Ben & Jerry's was special. It tasted so good and felt so great in my mouth, I hated to swallow it but brain freeze was just around the corner. It was the winner and by a long margin. The HD came in 2nd, which had been my favorite.
And B&J Vanilla Ice Cream been selected as my palate cleanser for my Brownie Brittle taste test up next. Never had this stuff before and I also recommend it.
