Mile High Vegan Treat Club...not as dirty as it sounds

Lend me your ears Vegan friends (and general friends who like good cookies),
The next time you fly with Delta and you are asked "peanuts...pretzels...cookies?" say "Cookies!" (and if you are anything like me, when you use your plane-voice half whisper to respond, also hold up two fingers, in a "peace sign" fashion...this usually gets you two packs, especially when coupled with a smile.)

If all goes well you will be presented with a packet (or two) of Biscoff Gourmet Cookies a.k.a Lotus Cookies. Get ready, they are fantastic! The packet contains two oblong spice cookies and they are delicious! It's not for everyone I suppose but a very nice departure (no pun intended) from the standard peanuts and pretzels.

These cookies are available in finer shops and for home delivery, although I doubt they will have the Delta logo. Upon arrival (pun intended this time) at your doorstep you will be pleasantly surprised to find that these cookies are vegan and exceptionally yummy!
