Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Delicious things can sometimes be found in the most ridiculous places.
I just recently got back from a trip to Chicago, and on the flight from LAX to ORD, I came across the most incredible tasting cookie. It was on the plane. Certainly, airplanes, once purveyors of rubber Denver omelets and pencil eraser potatoes, now serving generic adult version of Lunchables, are the last place I would ever think to find something worthy of culinary raves. But these biscuits, as the Biscoff company calls them (oh, those Europeans!), were so caramel ever-so-softly sticky chewy on the outside and sweet, light, crisp tender spicy on the outside that I almost snatched away 39F's from his tray table while he was asleep.
Too bad I just got pretzels on the return flight.

Fortunately, my local Kroger (grocery store) now stocks them in the produce section. Jealous much? Check around. You may find a local supplier to tide you over until your receive your family pack from the Gourmet Center.

Yes, they are now available at Kroger and Dillon's stores, but in the bakery department, not produce. Sorry, Ralph's has not yet started to offer them. They are also at Hannaford (New England) and Food Lion in the gourmet cookie section or at our web site, www.biscoff.com.
