I am confused about the responses to this message so far.

Perhaps if you are simply wafting around the sky to make your 5 hour or
are "leisurely" goin' somewhere there will be time for nourishment. But
most of my significant cross country is in a contest setting. And I can
tell you the there are precious few times in a 5-6 hour contest flight
when the concentration on the clouds, other gliders, speed maximization
tasks, thermal optimization, evaluating lift streets, etc. allow for a
break in concentration to open a package and eat something. I even, at
times, feel the concentration load is such that I will defer peeing or
drinking from the water tube until I get to the next flight regime.

I have been trying to determine what foods work well for extended cross
country flying. It needs to taste good, give you energy, easy to eat
in flight, not too messy, filling, doesn't melt, etc.

What does everyone use?
