Holy shit it’s perfect. Wish we had 'em here in Socialismo[/quote]

damn it’s like $6 but 1600 calories and jersey pocketable

possible to eat while riding or would you get gooey sugar errywhere?

when riding with saddlebag or hbar bag: ham sandwiches, pbj, choco chip cookies, beef jerky etc etc. No wonder I’m 20lbs over target weight.

One of my favorite bike camping foods is buttermilk biscuits out of the tube, cooked by frying in butter over a camp stove.

It only works with the smallest crappiest type that usually come in a pack of 4 tubes for ~$2, if they’re even slightly big or have stuff added to make them flaky they won’t cook. You also have to be a bit careful packing them, they can pop open if heavily jostled or taken over about 8000ft.

Melt a half-stick of butter in one of those multi-use frying pan / pot lid / plate things, it needs to be at about 8" in diameter to contain them all. Then place all the biscuits in the pan over a low flame, and flip each of em over so there’s butter on both sides before they start cooking. Wait till they’re golden brown on the bottom and then flip em once more. If they start to get too brown on that side before the centers are cooked, stack them on their edges in the pan like a tube of dimes on its side, rolling them over that way until cooked through.

It’s easy and your companions will lose their minds in how decadent it is.[/quote]

when you’re talking about biscuits are you tolkien like savoury beef biscuits american style or british tea biscuits
or gorilla biscuits?

whatever it is i want in

PBB all the way. if you make little pbburritos with a ~10"wrap, 1/2 a banana, and like three tablespoons of pb, you can ride forever. holds together better than a sandwich so you can put a lot of them in a single bag.

the kinda biscuits that normally get served with white gravy in a southern breakfast, just the crappy out of a can kind that’ve been re-balleurized by frying in butter

these jawns:

We call them “scones”. Pronounced scons.

Since this is srs thread now I’ve been liking mixed nuts a lot. Throw some in a waxed paper sandwich bag and deposit in jersey pocket. Very easy to deal with and the salt keeps me drinking which is good because I’m lousy about drinking at regular intervals. Waxed paper bag is good for cut up pb&j, etc… too.

Banana is awzum for jersey pocketing as long as the ride isn’t long enough for it to get nasty.

I don’t love the taste of Clif bars (and they have a few epically nasty flavors), but I can stomach them, my body does ok with them and they’re cheap and readily available so whatever.

I buy trail mix in huge Costco bags and destroy it on a regular basis.

I also make bean/rice burritos.

I also make peanut butter/honey sandwiches.

Some unintentional experimenting has taught me that my digestive system doesn’t like bananas very much, which sucks.

If/when I have to buy something on the road (very rarely), it’ll generally be a bagel with some butter. I’ll throw in some olives if I’m at a grocery store with a decent olive bar.

the prollem with sin-dawgs is not that they’re messy
but once you open it, its scientistically unpossible to stop munching until the whole thing is gone.

backing probars

usually i just stick to pb&js and bananas though.
fucking love me some pb&j

also salmon jerky.

abe-diesel brings hardboiled eggs.

You and my daughter have similar tastes. She rarely eats packaged food, but when she does, that’s what she’s into.

I usedta make Allen Lim rice cakes when I actually rode a bike further than the pastry shop on Saturdays. I loved 'em.

if mtb’n then bacon, eggs, toast, homefries, orange wedge, coffee.
during ride, beer.

Yeah they were pretty fantastic for the first half of my last rando. After 7 hours or so I stopped trusting them and switched to non spoiling provisions but they made the morning of the ride pretty damn enjoyable to have something that was actually tasty to snack on. I used bacon instead of whatever the recipe called for (prosciutto or pancetta or whatever) and the bacon went a bit soggy which sort of sucked. This summer I’m going to make them again and just have a side of bacon strips, so like, eat one rice cake and half a strip of bacon every 45 minutes to an hour.

Best thing I’ve eaten on the bike for sure though
