I take dried figs and dates on a ride

Sainsbury's dried figs. Deliciously soft and sticky and tasty

Aldi or lidl both luuverly and its compulsory to eat the whole packet in one go, otherwise someone else may try to get to them.

I prefer malt loaf, ready sliced and buttered in small easy to manage packets

Standard supermarket brand fig rolls, the 50p ones

Fig rolls are the work of the devil. Avoid.

If you want something with that same sort of non-crumbly consistency that tastes slightly better, try McVitie's Go Fruit Bakes, or shop-specific derivatives thereof.

If you want something fruity, take a banana or a bag of mixed fruit.

If you want something sweet, there's a lot to be said for the humble flapjack.

Tesco cranberry flapjacks, 5 for a quid, each separately wrapped

I was responding to @Dec66

I can't remember the last time I ate a fig roll. Dried figs a bit gritty and dates are revolting on every level. Apricots and dried mango on the other hand...

The OP has just bought bib shorts and is also talking about trying energy gels in another thread, I would suggest that if adding figs into the mix, he wears the bibs over the jersey for quick removal!

I wouldn't contemplate eating figs on a ride longer than 30 miles for that very reason, bib shorts or not. Even though I put Dioralyte in my bidon for the longest ones I do!

LIDL fig rolls for me every time.

I like fig rolls, even though (like sausage rolls) if you hold them end on, they look like the back end of a labrador with its tail raised.
