    Cycle Oregon specializes in spam at their rest stops. I once had spam and twizzlers on a cracker.
    It was actually quite good. Only time I've ever had spam (can't say the same about twizzlers).

    One of my club buddies ate an Italian sub when we were doing a century, in 90 degree heat. He had to pull off of the road multiple times on the way back. Spicy food and a century do not mix!

    I saw my partner eat a steaming 12" meatball grinder, complete with oozing tomato suace and melted cheese, on a 95 degree day. We were on a flat bike trail for a 22 mile ride. He usually has digestive issues or a sensitive stomach, but this time was fine!

    Peaunt M&M's at my first century. I learned the hard way that chocolate does not mix with physical exertion for me AT ALL. EVER.

    I did an organized ride once where for the 'lunch' rest stop, they served chili topped baked potatoes with cheese sauce. I didn't have one, but seeing others eating it definitely made me gag once or twice. Ick.

    At an event ride for lunch they included a container of veggies with a mayo-based sauce. It tasted good going down. I passed on that salad the next two years.

    Eggs. As much as I love them, I learned never to eat them before or during a ride.

    What's wrong with an egg salad sandwich?! I can't always get tuna!
