Guys, where do you source your vanilla pods? The ones from the supermarkets are not only very expensive, but when you take them out of those stupid jars they always seem a little bit crap to me.

I've seen them for sale on the big river site, but not sure if thats a good idea
 
I think I'm going to give the eBay ones a shot, but now not sure whether to go for the super cheap Indian, or slightly more expensive Madagascan ones. And whether to go for the shorter (11-13cm) or longer (15-17cm) pods. Anyone comment on this?
 
Got the Madagascan pods - I think it was £3.50 or so for 20 of them. Will let you guys know what they're like when I use them, maybe sometime next week. They arrived in a vacuum sealed package and look pretty good :)
