Big fan of fig rolls, but find you have to drink a lot more to help wash 'em down. Maybe there's posh ones that aren't quite as dry, but I will never be a person that buys premium fig rolls.
I'm now converted to new potatoes as on the road fuel. With or without a bit of cheese on them. Tastes better than a gel and costs fuck all, much like milk.

It'd take a fuck load of bacon, cheese, onions and sauce to make a new potato taste better than a Rhubarb and Custard gel.
I don't get on with dry stuff either - I tried fig rolls yonks ago and although they taste fine the pastry bit sticks in your mouth for too long and anything that makes breathing hard or causes you to cough is no good.

I had a couple of Fig Rolls (shitkicker range from Sainos) this morning on an early ride and they seem to do the job, but as you say, they're quite hard to get down - a bit dry and need a lot of chewing. I boshed them whole but probably two smaller bites would be better.
Taste great though. Love the sleazy 90s vibe

Slight change of direction but on similar theme to milk vs protein shake etc....
Am trying to eat less 'science food', especially energy bars, and relying on more normal stuff. Still eat energy bars, but not so much, and I use gels still.
Food-wise, its mostly home made rice cakes, Soreen, and bananas so far. Have just invested in some fig rolls but am yet to use them, and am probably gonna try dates too.
What other 'normal' foods do people go with? And if anyone is already on fig rolls and dry fruit, how are they working out? Fig rolls stack up well nutritionally from an inspection of the packet.
