Bars - Generally I find bars horrible. I always think it a good idea to get a few for when doing a big ride or going away ect... then end up chewing on them for far too long!
Torq bars - imo easiest to eat.. strange but alright flavours and rather expensive £1.50+
High 5 - very dry, good natural flavours fairly cheap!
Sis mini bars - big ones are far too big and dont need that much in one go. mini bars taste good but very artifical, a bit chewy but the berry and blueberry flavours are okay and a nice size... Avoid the choc/fudge far to sticky.
morrisons/asda ect savers cereal bar - 100kcal tiny easy to eat and cheap negatives.. you don't feel pro eating them.
Flapjack - cheap alright to eat with some water, high fat content can slow digestion and delivery of sugars to the muscles.. maybe not ideal on faster training rides.
Gells - A must during racing for me real easy to take and some taste pretty good!
High 5 - pretty much always get high 5 isogells buy one get one free.. these taste good have enough carbs in and are more liquid than gell so no water necissary..
Sis - second only to high 5 for ease of taking the isotonic versions are bulky and the flavour is weak but seem to do the job well! quite often get these on offer too!
Torq - pretty expensive, but certain flavours taste amazing, my prefrence ruhbarb and custard! torq products are also fairtrade organic and use natural ingredients, the carbs are maltodextrin and fructose 2:1 ratio which has been proven to increase delivery to the muscles... do have to take a drink with these as they are rather concentrated.
Powerbar gells - the wrong shape for jersey pockets, taste very sickly need lots of water with them.. expensive
my secret training fuel on the bike..?
Cheap white bread roll with jam on one side and peanut butter on the other.. great when it is wet or cold and easy to eat and digest quickly! enjoy
