speculoos and tsa
ok....stupid question time.....
does tsa classify speculoos spread as a gel and deny me bringing it aboard in a carry-on? the jars are glass and it has consistency of nutella. the crunchy version has bits and pieces. |

Given past practice, I would think that many TSA staff would consider it a gel and therefore, under the liquids ban. |
if it helps my flight is bru-iad-jfk and I don't remember if you have to go throught the tsa security in iad or just customs.

When you used speculoos in the title, I was thinking of the biscuits not the spread and was thinking oh, noooo!

maybe I will just eat all 5 or 6 jars in front if the tsa agent and have him figure out what to do with me when I go into a diabetic coma.

Never had the stuff, but how does it taste? If it's good, it'll be determined to be a liquid/gel and subject to
Mike |
it tastes kind of like graham cookies in something delicious. not too sweet...just right
|
Don't worry, the security screening at BRU won't even let you take it onboard ;-)
|
They now sell several versions in the US.

Why don't you place the jars in your checked luggage before re-checking your bags post Customs?

I believe speculoos are actually the cookies (similar in taste to Biscoffs). There are spreads out there made with crunched up speculoos. It IS really good.
If all else fails, hit up a nearby Trader Joe's and pick up some jars. I have a Belgian co-worker and he was thrilled when I gave him a box of the cookies and a jar of the spread for Christmas:) |
Speculaas is the cookie. Speculoos is the spread.
