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!

I think anything with mayo is out. Ever. Blech.
My ex husband ate a full Thanksgiving dinner then went on a MTB ride with me (not a ride on a mountain bike, a mountain bike ride, off road, on a technical, hard, climbing trail). At some point, he told me to go ahead. When he caught up with me, he said he felt a lot better, having enjoyed (his words) his meal again.
Sport blocks of any sort kill me.
My cycling buddy frequently has a custard-filled donut when we stop at a certain gas station that also has a Dunkin Donuts. He will usually down it with a bottle of GRAPE soda...yuck!!! That combo just makes me wanna hurl.
