Depending upon the time I ride, I might have some breakfast, lunch or dinner. Depending on duration, I might have water, energy drink, granola bars, ham sandwich, or banana during.

My favorite fuel is a Taiwanese breakfast item know as "dan bing" with either corn or bacon. Awesomeness!
It's one egg, and thin tortilla-type thing for carbs, and bacon or corn. carbs, protein all packed into something small that doesn't weigh me down. And a latte...caffe umbria beans I import from Seattle and some of Taiwan's finest milk...and then I'm ready to "dial up 400 watts" or whatever the current meme of ass-whooping is!

Breakfast: Steel cut oatmeal with raisins and Greek yogurt.
Mid-Ride: If over 2-hours, I'll have a Hamer Gel and maybe a banana. Gatorade G2 in my water bottles.
Post-Ride: Chocolate soy milk (with UBet - much better than Hersey's) and protein powder.

I like to start the day off with 1L of water. Then after, 30 d'noor dates, 5 bananas, and some frozen blueberries blended up. Then during my ride I eat about 10 dates again

I was wondering the same thing. And how do you burn eggs?
when I first looked at this I thought wow, cool diner food. Awesome, but then I thought 3 eggs is a lot. But why does he eat jam instead of jelly? cheap paper towel instead of a place mat? What kind of diner is this? an why zip lock bags? Odd plate for a diner. Even more odd is that odd potato thing that looks like pineapple...
gross I cant eat dinner now....

Since most of my rides are 30 - 45 mi long:
Before (breakfast): 1 cup of Puffins high fiber cereal (cinnamon) w/ no fat milk.
During ride: 1 - 1.5 Clif Bars (always white choc-macadamia nut).
After: 1 -2 bowls of Oats-n-Os cereal (like Apple Cinn Cherios but better, IMO), or Corn Flakes w/ a little sugar, and no fat milk.

had a 2 hr, 40 min ride yesterday (75km)
had oatmeal for breakfast
2 fig newton cookies during the ride
1000ml h20
*went out for a ride 1.5 hr after my bfast
had a balanced late lunch after that (salad, rice and beef w/mushroom)
other than running out of water on the 2 hr mark I was ok. I wasn't trying to crush segments or anything although I had to battle a nasty headwind on my way home.

10 min after morning commute: Clif Builder's 20g protein bar (Chocolate Mint), half pint 1% chocolate milk
30-60 min before evening commute: Clif Bar
10 min after evening commute: 32oz Gatorade G2

After reading your "serious crash" thread, I am curious how long a ride you are talking about.
If your "long" is the same as your "serious" I might only pee and have a shot of pepsi first.

I usually do not eat anything before my early morning (before 7 am) rides, but make sure to have decent dinner with some meat (no vegetarian dinners).
During the ride, I drink 1 L per hour of Nuun Kona Kola or Triberry hydration mix with about 60 calories worth of a sport drink. I also try to eat a couple of dried dates or figs after an hour or so.
At the 2.5 to 3 hour mark, if I am going to ride for another hour or so, I will eat half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
At the end of a 5 to 6 hour ride, I will finish the other half of the pb&j sandwich with a big glass of chocolate milk or Thai iced coffee.
Then, my late lunch, after a long cold shower, will be something hearty and meaty.
