A little off the beaten path, but she adores Biscoff cookies (aka The Airline Cookie) and can not find them anywhere in LA. When she flies, I think, Delta and United, they're served on board so she hordes them but when her stash is gone, it's gone! Amazon sells them but I was hoping to find them somewhere locally. Any ideas? Thanks, Suebee http://www.amazon.com/Gourmet-Center-Biscoff-Family-Pack/dp/B0001FFK40 http://www.biscoff.com/gourmet/shop Sun May 25 09:31:32 -0700 2008 11379 Suebee 1 3719380 I've seen them at Walgreens. 2 packages for $5.00, if they're on sale. (Each pack is 8.8 oz - 250 gms) Sun May 25 10:50:44 -0700 2008 3719230 23862 Mr. Roboto 2 3719439 Really? Can I ask which Walgreen's you've seen them at? Thanks!

I've also seen em in CVS at 26th and Santa Monica Blvd. Sun May 25 11:34:46 -0700 2008 3719439 15572 Emme 4 3719459 Wow, this is great! Thanks you guys! Sun May 25 11:41:34 -0700 2008 3719449 11379 Suebee 5 3719509 Squeeze a little fresh lime juice on the Biscoff cookie and you will find that it tastes amazingly like Key Lime Pie. (A flight attendant told me this and it really works). Sun May 25 12:13:56 -0700 2008 3719459 67720 maudies5 6 3719512 Thanks, I'll pass the idea onto my friend. Sun May 25 12:15:36 -0700 2008 3719509 11379 Suebee 3 3719546 I've seen them at various Walgreens in the San Gabriel Valley. You can also order on-line: http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100537&id=prod3094421 Sun May 25 12:31:22 -0700 2008 3719439 23862 Mr. Roboto 1 3719535 Biscoff are actually traditional Belgian cookies called "Speculoos", made by Lotus. If you cannot find them but your local Ralph's or Von's sells LU cookies, look for the type called "Bastogne", it's similar to Biscoff. Maybe a bit thicker. But more expensive than the Walgreens deal mentioned by Mr Roboto. In Belgium they give you one when you order coffee, and it' the perfect pairing, IMHO. Now I have to check my local Walgreens and CVS. Thanks for the info!

Sun May 25 13:14:49 -0700 2008 3719535 15572 Emme 1 5070706 Thank you all for your input. The speculoos from my trip to Belgium just ran out and I'm going to hightail it over to Walgreen's as soon as I can.
