Sambava, Madagascar -- The world's largest vanilla industry is feared to be on the verge of collapse as farmers struggle to earn a living.

We will all rue the day when newcomers to our hobby can no longer appreciate the magic that is the phrase "hints of 7 y.o. Madagascar vanilla". Oh woe to our hobby, woe I say.

How will we know?
When some rare seaweed is belched forth from the bowels of the ocean.

Oh, but we still have wonderful descriptive phrases I've seen like (I'm paraphrasing), "tasted like butt hair wrapped in a paper lunch bag".

I feel better now, don't you?
