idjitmom is correct, "french vanilla," isn't really a flavor of its own. In ice cream, it refers to a creme anglaise based ice cream (made with eggs) and will usually have a creamy yellowish color, vs a pure white vanilla ice cream that is usually made with stabilizers instead of eggs (of course now many companies market a "french vanilla" ice cream that does not contain any eggs, anyway). Because of that, some people use the term "french vanilla" as a marketing tool to make a product some more rich and indulgent than just "vanilla," in turn leading it to become a "flavor" in its own right.
I was just asking myself that question the other night!!!
Now I know!!!!
Excellent! Thanks all so much for clearing that up! I saw McCormick's French Vanilla flavoring and wondered what the difference was! If you're using it in baked goods, I would think it would be the same as regular, since you use eggs anyway?

My guess is the difference between that and regular vanilla is that they have added some sort of chemical additive to give it a "creamier" taste (if that makes sense).
