Unless you live in the UK. Then bonking is something else. 
Isn't that why food is recommended to be easily digested? We need to eat; but we also need to not spend a lot of energy digesting the food. I've found that oatmeal as a pre-ride breakfast doesn't work all that well for me for that reason. I seem to do much better with a PB&J washed down with almond milk.
