get out of here old man, you haven't contributed anything.
for morning/noontime solo training rides, I usually don't have much. 1-2 cups of coffee/espresso, bagel or frozen waffles, or sometimes leftovers from the night before (slice of pizza, quinoa). if I know that it's going to be a more strenuous ride, I'll eat a proper meal at least 1-2 hours before, such as eggs and toast, a loaded turkey sandwich on wheat, pasta with pesto or meat sauce, etc.

I tend to pedal most always in the early mornings so I eat cereal before I ride.

The last group ride I was on, I was in a pinch for time and I needed to chow down a decent meal so I went for a 12" Subway sub about 30 minutes before riding. It was perfect.

I usually ride at 5:30am so just coffee. If I ride in the afternoon, nothing within 2-3 hours of riding. Today I'm riding 75 miles or so at 6 so I'll take a powerbar for the half way point stop. I try to drink a bottle of water every hour if possible. That seems to be more beneficial to me.
Post ride I drink protein powder mixed in coffee over ice. I don't know if it helps, but the Carmel Chocolate whey in coffee is the bomb!

If I end up waking up before dawn for a group ride: McDonalds sausage McGriddle combo with orange juice.
If not then probably a bucket of rice.

Porridge (Bob's Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal) - with maple syrup (Canada eh?) and cream.
"If it ain't Scottish, it's crap!..."
(yes I know Bob's Red Mill is not in Scotland)
