Vanilla Bourbon

by Alpha_Ghana

Vanilla is one of the most expensive spices.During the 18th century, a slave found that if he was putting together the branches of a special orchidea, there was no flower but the plant was developping this brown long fruit, which became vanilla.At this time , La Reunion was still called Ile Bourbon, from the name of the royal family of France.
