Gasoline of choice?
Your favorite fueling food, what is it?
Mine is boiled up fettucini pasta (99 cents a pound) with raw tomatoes and pesto toped with parmesan. Simply one of the least expensive rocket fuels out there!

An oatmeal breakfast the day of the strenuous activity (long bike/hike).
Bananas & mini bagels are great for on-the-road/trail. A pasta dinner if I'm going out again the next day.

Eating?
Pre-ride to work Breakfast: Two cups of coffee, two cigarettes and 16 oz. of water.
If there is Breakfast on the Bridges - another cream filled cup with coffee added, banana's and whatever pastries and carbs I can stuff in my mouth in under 10 minutes. Get to work - PB and Honey on Dave's Bread, Cliff Bar and more water - all within 20 minutes of the ride! (Very important. Rebuild.) Lunch - Protein attack. Whatever I can get my hands on. Skimp on the breads and carbs. Go for the raw power of leftovers. Yeah, meat, nuts, whatever. Water. Biggest meal of the day. Pre-ride home: (At least 20 minutes prior) Nuts, no sugar snacks, fruit, water. Dinner - Lite. Veggie centric. Maybe some pasta or rice to fill it out or oatmeal and yogurt.

Read this thread for fueling choices. Today it was two candy bars, a rice pudding and a banana. But only 40 miles.

Two Words:
"Grape", "Nuts".
Yeah, I know: gravel nuggets. But they take any kind of berries and it seems I can burn them for hours...

Thumbs up for the fueling suggestion thread lynnef provided the link to, and her own suggestions for randonneur snacks. She eats good stuff.
The other day at Perfomance bikes, I noticed a basket at the corner with free samples of Clif 'Shot Turbo energy gel double espresso' (sch-w-a-a-ag!!). Okay...I like coffee, and besides...'Free is a very good price!' (thank's Tom Peterson)...I thought...I'll try that...so I did. Impression of the stuff: Don't want to dis anyone's favorite pick-me-up snack, but I didn't think the stuff was very good. Funny taste, though the gel aspect was nice...went down real easy, almost like pudding.
