I used Zipvit for that reason, did a couple of years of 100s on the before I did the 12 so knew I got on. Think I mostly gave up on gels at 6-8 hours, there's only so much you can take. I was retching as I was riding along heh.
Can really recommend Clif Shot Bloks, pleasant to eat and not overwhelmingly sweet. Real food is a bit of a faff to eat, especially when moving but it's good to have some sandwiches/sausage rolls to hand if you fancy a change. Cold rice pudding with jam is the classic option.
