Above 60 and your into hard to digest teritory unless your trained to do so and using multiple fuel sources.
40-50ish fine. Also depends on the source. Drink powder digests fastee than food.

And if I ate a big breakfast before i went training id be sick. I just has a little nibble and then eat once riding, straight away. Fuel for the future, not for now.

Unless you're fueling to train proper hard to win the local world champs, just do whatever works and whatever you like to do. But sounds like you need to eat sooner into a ride, so you don't get hungry.
If I wasn't training, I'd just eat pain au chocolates at the cafe I stop at every 10miles to get my caffine fix.

I do find drink stuff works well. I rarely use it though as makes my teeth feel grim.

Have been using stuff I made at home a lot over science food recently and not sure it always works effectively enough. Had a lot of my mum's leftover Xmas cake today...

Why wouldn't it?

I'll take 40,000 years of evolution over a couple of decades of marketing wank.
