Non techie cycling food

[Dogtrousers]

Just food, really. Peanut butter and marmite sandwiches, Pork pies, sausage rolls, all kinds of cereal bars and the like, peanuts, samosas, malt loaf, fruit cake, cake of all sorts, bananas, apples ...

It's not "cycling food" just food that happens to be portable.

Soreen malt loaf, a pack of 5 lunch box loaves, a few of those in my back pocket have fueled many a long ride.

Fig biscuits...

I'm threatening to do a sunny solo metric century ride soon, if I can get up early enough to do it and be back by noon, to avoid getting frazzled.

My ride 'food' is waiting in the kitchen cupboard for that day to come. It is a pack of fig rolls.

Apart from those, I'll make do with 2 x 750 mL of DIY carbo drinks.

which?
The bought (as opposed to home-made - I do a sort of thing myself) ones I often find rather pricey for what they are - and tending to make claims for healthiness which I find somewhat unconvincing - unlike my lidl waffles which I think make no claims to be health food.

Home made, I put dried fruit in mine.

Pesto pasta in a hot flask.

I like the idea of that, will give it a go.

All except the sandwiches is available in village shops.

I really struggle to eat on the move.

you're nor pedalling far/long enough.

I add a couple or three hard boiled eggs. Nutritionally I don't think they do much but I like them.

I'm no food scientist but possibly better for recovery than powering you during a ride.

Bread pudding. Use the wholemeal option.

Nothing lovelier to knock the knock.

on peanut butter, if I've temporarily run out of my homemade snack, which has a fair amount of peanut butter in it, or other handy stuff, I sometimes shove in the panniers a plastic tub of peanut butter, a plastic knife for spreading and some rice cakes.

For me just normal food usually and whatever I have in. Banana is usually a standard, cereal bars, haribos. When I do longer rides usually stop for coffee and a sandwich or the occasional pub lunch. Can usually always find a shop. I have used energy gels but dont really see the need as I'm never going that hard to warrant an instant boost.
For me its more fluids, I can do 2 750ml bottles of water in about 40 miles if its hot and usually have to find somewhere to fill them back up and often end up buying drinks mid ride.

My kind of cycling does not need powering. Even touring I did some reasonable distances but at my easy pace and stopping to look at anything of interest.

Flapjacks.

bm bargains had flapjacks in for 79 p in the section with the energy bars
