Quoted message said:On a long day ride, I always feel like I should bring something that is
recognizably lunch, in addition to energy bars. I can't count on a
sub-shop being nearby; I want to be self-sufficient. I've been carrying
these frou-frou mozarella sandwiches, on the theory that my stomach
handles them better then a meat-type sandwich. But at the food stop on
the NVP Fall Century Saturday, I was re-introduced to the old childhood
staple and favorite: PBJ sandwiches! Damn, they tasted great. And felt
like just the thing.
I guess you could say: peanut butter has protein, bread is carbs, the
jelly is pure sugar. So it makes sense.
What do other people carry for lunch?

I like to take whoe wheat tortillas and spread some peanut butter and jelly
on them, then roll them up, and cut into bite size units, and put in a
baggie to carry along.
Doesn't require refridgeration either.
Another was to use the tortillas with some turkey meat slices, cheese and
lettuce, plus take some packets of mayonaise along too. Then spread on the
mayo when you are ready to eat.
Also taking some summer beef sausage, cheese, wheat crackers, and mustard
packets worked pretty good. Using whole wheat tortillas instead of crackers
wasn't bad either.
A simple Panini type of sandwich works too. This is where you put in some
turkey and cheese between two large slices of bread, and lightly rub the
outside with olive oil and toast on the grill. Slice in half to make it easy
to carry. Granted it is better eaten warm, but what the heck.
