Al Roker Has a Brilliant In-flight Snack Hack-and It Uses All On-board Ingredients

"When we asked about his favorite in-flight snack, he told us, "If I'm on Delta, it's the Biscoff," referring to the beloved biscuits that have been one of the Atlanta-based airline's complimentary snacks since 1988. Despite being served on flights around the globe, the caramelized cookies crafted with all-natural ingredients are still made by Lotus Bakeries, a family-operated company based in Lebbeke, Belgium."

"Without missing a beat, Roker retorted, "But I think it tastes better on the plane." Then the New Yorker let us in on his true secret. "Here's a little tip for you: Take a couple of Biscoff crackers, cut a lime in half, and squeeze it onto the Biscoff," he said of the citrus fruit, which is also stocked on many flights' beverage carts. "It's like you're having the crust of a key lime pie.""

Al Roker has spent decades appearing on NBC and reporting from locations including New York, Miami, Tulsa, and international Olympic sites. Roker favors Delta's complimentary Biscoff biscuits as his preferred in-flight snack. Biscoff biscuits have been served on Delta since 1988 and are produced by family-operated Lotus Bakeries in Lebbeke, Belgium. Savannah Guthrie noted that Biscoff is available in stores, but Roker says it tastes better on flights. Roker's in-flight hack is to squeeze fresh lime onto two Biscoff crackers to mimic the flavor of key lime pie. Roker has praised Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie as a genuine example of the dessert.
