A real foodie & cycles alot?

Well the named sports energizing foods above, just to illustrate how they are just fuel, not "food":

I was manning an information and refreshment table for Bike to Work Wk. last spring. A bike manufacturer was offering up free shot blocs to anyone. You should have seen the looks of disgust when pedestrians and recreational/commuter riders who tried it.

I'd call myself a foodie (I even keep a food blog) who's gotten into cycling so she can eat more food

Yummy swiss chard pie tarte that you have there! And welcome to TE forums. I have some foodie posts but no recipes, yet. Alot of my dishes that I yak about, are family recipes or personal inventions.

It would mean I would have to do some serious testing with exact measurements to write down recipe. Not impossible, but I'm lazy.

I would consider myself a foodie, as well as a cyclist. I love to cook, buy only fresh ingredients, and I also go out to eat quite a bit, too. While I wouldn't consider myself a "gourmet" cook, I find cooking to be very creative.
I do eat Luna Bars and an occasional Shot Block, though, when riding.

Thanks! I appreciate the welcome!

I think I have to make another swiss chard tart -- the chickpea flour crust was so filling it will be perfect once I'm really on the bicycle!

I love to cook when I have time, love to look at photos of food, and have an affinity for my bike... So I guess I am a foodie. I also enjoya good glass of wine and espresso ( not together of course ) and willing to pay for quality over quanity any day!!

Chick pea crust sounds filling. I'm sure you have an arsenal of recipes.

For energy sports food, to me it's fuel..'cause is this food that you would feed children?

I rest my case.

I love food for what it intrisically is within a particular culture and how people living in an area adopts the food for their palate. I do consider the traditional food cuisine of a particular culture an expression of people's lifestyle, values, etc. But some of that has been blown apart ..with globalization of industrially grown food sources, processed foods.

Another foodie here. And cyclist, clearly. For me, cooking is a form of artistic expression, a source of infinite intellectual challenge, a way to take care of my family, the activity that most gives me a sense of accomplishment.. but mostly, it's just fun. And I'm good at it.
