Good Quality- Junk Food.

Now if you want a better quality Junk Meal- Then Fish and chips- Take away Chinese or Indian or the Piece de resistance- A kebab. Only problem is that they are a bit too large a meal for a ride and more awkward to eat on the move.

OK glad you clarified re KPC...

As to the ethnic food there is the perfect moving meal - Del Taco Green Burrito. Easy to eat with one hand not that I would want to eat one on a ride... again just saying...

And no one mentioned Falafels. There is a restaurant chain, very popular here - Daphne's Greek Food. A popular haven for cyclists.

I avoid jakalope. It makes me feel real jumpy and those antlers tear up my guts.

Anything "Szechwan"

How about snipes... do you avoid them as well?

While the bison is the offcial Wyoming State Animal, the Jackalope is the official beast of the state of Wyoming

Don't do burritos. It once caused me to have to abandon a tough climb. Put me in a fever. I had a heart rate monitor on. Thought I was gonna die on this one tough climb.

Doughnuts! They send you way up to make the bonk all that worse.

I love hot spicey food but can't come near it on or anywhere before a ride. Other than spicy food I can eat most anything an hour before a ride. During a long ride though - I have to be very very careful. Certain power bars hold me back, power drinks make me sick, some gels want to come back up. I have been learning what ride snack foods work for me and provide the nutrition I need. What I am still experimenting with is hydration formulas that work well - I just bought some nuun tablets to see if they work better, last september on a century I drank water like a fish but ran out of electrolites so I dehydrated anyway.

Oh well, I thought the Jackalope picture was funny.

all this is probably cause were old. I remember back in the day eating most anything and riding. One of my favorite rides back then was a 70+ miler with a stop in the middle at a BBQ shack. My first tour of colorado I had huevos rancheros for breakfast every day -- it was new to me, being an east coast person.

Now I have some cereal and soy milk or a granola bar before a ride and pretty much all I eat on the road is clif shot or hammer gel. I did have a piece of apple pie and ice cream on a ride back around halloween but I was already dropped then. It was some good pie though, and turned what had been a pretty miserable day into an OK one

The second time, confirmed my original suspision, that I should not eat corned beef hash midway thru a ride. Good thing I carry a small package of tissue in my bag.

What you asked me not to eat - ask me how I know.

Chucked 'em all, cycling in many countries and at various stages of maturity

Nothing but coffee before a hard ride
Haggis
Tripe (don't ask)
Andouillettes, handed out at an aid station on an organised ride in southern France
Dagang Rendang (matured chili beef in Indonesia - burns your mouth going down, worse later)
Half a gallon of Fullers London Pride - seemed like a good idea at the time
Sago grubs in coconut sauce, climbing up to a volcano in Flores Indonesia

Hey, it's all good
