Cliff bars
"ContestID67" wrote in message oups.com... 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? - John |

Bananas. Slow release energy, reasonably nice taste, not too messy Good grief John, have you never accidentally crushed a banana in a cockpit pocket! An absolutely disgusting mess if I recall. Get yourself some Fair Trade Geobars. Z |

I tried them. Kind of dry for me. But then that makes me drink.

Report from the front - After my recent contest experience I tried all
sorts of things. Dried fruit seemed to work best for me. Dried pineapple was my favorite. Apricots were good but kind of sticky. A close second is Twizzlers. Tastes good, sugar for energy, not messy. |

I examined one that had somehow escaped such consumption and had resided in a pocket of my survival vest for a year. It was still edible though a bit dry and shriveled. At ~ 1$ each, they're a cheap lunch. Bill Daniels |

They seem well suited to our purposes, and 4 months is plenty long enough. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

I usually eat a decent breakfast early, a bunch of Cantelope before I take
off, bring plenty of water and eat Cliff bars in flight (Chocolate Chip are my favorite). The cliff bars are filling and taste decent (it ain't a RibEye but it'll do). 1 bar every 2-3 hours and I'm good for however long the flight is.
