Silly? Of course not. Anyone who flys on the X as much as you do is certainly entitled to answers about subjects such as the quality of the cuisine served on an ATR.
On my last trip, the Biscoff formerly served on the X was replaced by some sort of chocolate covered shortbread biscuit, which actually was pretty good.
I was informed that the removal of the Biscoffs was probably permanent, and remarked in reply that an era had passed, and that old Biscoff packages would eventually be found in museums as relics of this age of airline travel.
Therefore, when I actually saw some of them in the CLE PC a few days later, I sure stocked up. As predicted, they have now disappeared from the PCs and can only be a sweet (albeit slightly cinnamon-scented) memory.

I'm jealous ... you guys must be flying the fancy ATR's. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

No kidding. Best I've ever gotten is the usual coach (and standard COX, I guess) cold sandwich.

with all the "full service" airlines (for lack of a better term) cutting back on meal service, I am surprised to hear that there was ever ANY type of edible offered on CO express flights.

We got those fabulous cookies from IAH to DAL (Love). It made that 39 minute flight a little nicer :-)

maybe it wasn't COX's choice to remove the biscotti... perhaps it could be fashioned into a weapon? maybe thats why they changed to the softer shortbread?

just a thought....

Just got some on my BDL-CLE flight on a 737 in first. And they are good! Yum Yum

Are we talking Biscotti (starbucks) or Biscoff (thin cinni-graham cracker flavored)?

They're pretty different.

FWIW, the Boston PC still has Biscoff. But I was too busy downing Cape Cod potato chips to care.

I just presumed that stockmanjr was talking about the Biscoff. I will have a relatively long flight on the X later this week and will have time to search for a more definitive answer to the question.

Had the cookies on CLE-MKE ERJ145 on the 24rd of November. Yummmmm.
