But Mexico was still known as the home of the world's best vanilla, so the producers didn't admit what they were doing. They disguised the artificial taste by adding coumarin, an extract of the tonka bean, Dipteryx odorata. Coumarin tastes and smells just like vanilla, only more so.ost of the vanilla sold in Mexico is synthetic, though it doesn't all have coumarin in it. Telltale signs of the fake stuff: clear, or dark and murky (the real stuff is amber colored and translucent), low alcohol content (genuine vanilla extract contains at least 35% ethyl alcohol), laughably low price.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Snowdonia (Welsh: Eryri) is a region in north Wales and a national park of 823 square miles (2,130 km 2) in area. It was the first to be designated of the three national parks in Wales, in 1951.he English name for the area derives from Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales at 3,560 ft (1,085 m). In Welsh, the area is named Eryri. One assumption is that the name is derived from eryr (eagle), but others state that it means quite simply Highlands, as leading Welsh scholar Sir Ifor Williams proved.
