And I like to browse through some of the little grocery shops in the small towns I've travelled through. Sometimes the food choices are fairly basic in those places (canned goods, a limited selection of fruit and veg, bread) but sometimes the shops have a little section with local foods.
One such place was about 15 km outside of Winnipeg, on a route I cycled quite frequently after work and on the weekends. I liked stopping in there because they'd have a table near the front with baked goodies. Someone (or perhaps a small group of people) would bake up a storm, carefully wrap individual pieces of a variety of cakes, or little bags of 3-5 cookies, or various other squares (aka. slices, bars), etc. and sell them for a fairly nominal price. They were delicious!! I've encountered similar things in other little country stores.
And there are the local attractions ... historical creameries, for example. The Markerville Creamery was just over 40 km from where I lived in Alberta, and I cycled out there a number of times over the years I lived in Alberta for the ice cream. I just had the ice cream, but because the creamery was in a historical Norweigen village, they also had a selection of locally made Norweigen foods. I've encountered various places like that on my travels too.
And markets ... in Australia and southern BC, for example, there are heaps of fruit markets. Some are large operations, others are roadside stands. In Queensland, we disembarked from a ferry and by the side of the road was a farmer selling the short, fat, very sweet bananas they grow up there for $0.25 a banana. We bought several to have along the way. Later, we came across a table by the side of the road with several different fruits in boxes and a tin can to drop some money in. I've come across everything from those situations to very large fruit markets.
Cycling in France was wonderful because of the patisseries ... mmmmmmm!!!!
And over there, they deliver "bread" to the campgrounds in the mornings. "Bread" consists of pain du chocolat and croissants chocolat ... nothing like a couple of those to start the day.
Unless I really had to because my ride would be very remote, I'd rather not carry food with me.
