A nice balanced meal, just like mom always said: some lean protein, some starch, some veggies, some good fats.

Don't buy into carboganda!

Beer, usually.

I'll second the balanced meal suggestion. I also stick to something I absolutely know will not cause me any sort of gastronomical distress. A long ride is definitely not the time to learn that something causes you problems.

Equally important is to eat well after the ride to help your muscles to recover quickly.

As others have said, a balanced meal. Plenty of fruit to snack on is always helpful too. Another thing I do is make sure my water intake is high -- very high. Normally I'll go through 10 litres the day before a big ride. I have to in this climate.
