I have no clue.
Usually my theory for fictitious murders is that the most famous guest star did it.
My wife's theory in real murders is always follow the insurance money.
Best guess- The butler (valet ) did it. |

Just like all the suspects in Murder on the Orient Express were guilty, so likewise all the options in my question are correct. It didn't matter which you chose. What mattered it that you guessed first.
Your turn, Salty. _________________ " ... the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it. " George Eliot |

I assume this is natural vanilla, rather than the synthetic.
I can think of three countries which grow it, so I'll go with the largest country and assume they have the most acreage/tonnage. MEXICO. |
