. . . tell me your favorite sandwich that can be made conveniently,
cut into quarters and stuffed into your jersey pockets for longer rides?
Cream cheese between two "breakfast biscuits" travels well in a snack
bag. Instead of cutting them into quarters, make four.
When I had access to a store called "Paradise Foods" I made
high-calorie muffins and kept them in the freezer; I can no longer buy
powdered kelp etc. for making mixed edible powder.

-- search on "high". I don't appear to have updated the cookbook
after learning how to bake them as bars. (The secret is to use a
large pan, so that they are mostly crust.)
Nowadays I count on being able to buy food along the way, so I need
back-up snacks that can be taken on several trips before being eaten.
I usually pack a few of Aldi's "protein bars", "granola bars", etc. We
refer to all of them as "candy bars", since sugar is the predominant
ingredient, but they make excellent emergency snacks.
When I want to eat at Tippy Park, I may take bread, a can of potted
meat, and other things that keep well, and make a sandwich after I get
there.
Or I might make a sandwich of just bread and summer sausage or the
like, and carry raw vegetables to slice onto it.
Oatmeal cookies can be a good meal. Search on "oatmeal" in the same
file; make a *lot* of long rolls so that the cookies are very small,
and coat the outsides of the rolls with sesame seeds.
If you plan to stop to eat, a banana and a bag of nuts provide the
right combination of sugar and fat. Bite the end of the banana flat,
press one or more nuts onto it, repeat.
Dried fruit in a front pocket or handlebar bag is good for eating
while in the saddle. If you don't mind leaving a trail of plum pits,
fresh stanley prunes are just the right size to pop a whole one into
your mouth. Unfortunately, they are available only a couple of weeks
a year -- and about seven hundred miles from here.
Some dried fruits can be stuffed with nuts. Two almonds in a pitted
date, for example. Apricots also have a pocket.
