I find that my stomach does not want food during a long ride, especially when it's hot out. So I stick with gatorade and gu, and even then sometimes I have to force the gu down my throat.
But as soon as the ride is over I will be famished. I used to down a coke after riding as a quick way to get some sugar, but of course I knew this was not healthy so I switched to OJ last year. (I didn't used to like orange juice all that much until I tried Florida's Natural which is so awesome because it really tastes like fresh oranges.)
Sometimes if I am far from home I will pack a cheese sandwich in my cooler for after the ride. (I have some mighty weird eating habits. I grew up on cheese and jelly sandwiches.)
