I have a friend who weighs all of 116 pounds. He often eats barbacoa on long bike rides. Just look it up and you'll see what I mean.
Texmex style barbacoa. He'll add in some potato chips, maybe a corn dog or a kolace or two. Oh yeah, a nice cold coca cola in the glass bottle from Mexico. You can buy those coca colas from Mexico at local convenience stores in South TX. I will drink one on a nice hot day...has real sugar in it....and they are really, really good.
He'll often say he forgot to eat breakfast
Centuries are really nothing for this guy.

"World-class cereal-eating is a dance of fine compromises. The giant heaping bowl of sodden cereal, awash in milk, is the mark of the novice. Ideally one wants the bone-dry cereal nuggets and the cryogenic milk to enter the mouth with minimal contact and for the entire reaction between them to take place in the mouth. ... The next-best thing is to work in small increments, putting only a small amount...in your bowl at a time and eating it all up before it becomes a pit of loathsome slime, which takes about thirty seconds in the case of Cap'n Crunch." - Neil Stephenson, Cryptonomicon

focaccia is by far my favorite riding food, leftover pizza is probably the most unusual thing I've brought along.

There are a few Indian restaurants with outdoor seating where I can stop near the end of a long ride and keep my bike nearby.

You Know!? For Kids!
I have Jeeves load my bike onto the trainer in the trailer behind the Rolls and take my repast at leisure.
