Thinking about food while riding

At the end of long rides when I am in a "pre bonk" state I often think about food. The other day I found myself dreaming about 7-11 Nachos, which I have not eaten in a very very long time. What types of food do you crave while riding?
 
Used to be that a big beef madras full of shredded coconut and plump sultanas would keep me slogging through the snowy roads in winter. I haven't ridden a bike in years and I couldn't manage that sort of rich food now. :)

Deep fried bean burritos from Taco Time...

'Twas a local 'franchise' in Utah, not sure where else...or if it even exists anymore.

2 for a dollar in the early 90s...

I find I crave mexican food, even the crappy stuff, a lot...my most missed food here in Norway.

Taco Time still exists, albeit in a much smaller fashion. Unlike Taco Bell or Del Taco, Taco Time is headquartered in the midst of the finest Mexican foods in Eugene, OR.

For me, it's ALWAYS chocolate...

for whatever reason i generally crave high fat foods when very hungry although when that hungry i will tend to eat most anything as long as it is not crap food.

My favorite post ride meal is a large omelet. Loaded- veggies, bacon, avocado and washed down with a lot of milk.
