I don't like bananas and that are black and on the way to a puree each time I carry them: my bag is small and a banana guard only protects one banana and takes up too much room. I found whole dried bananas (not chips) in health food store. there are about 15 of them in the pack each one about 2" long. Pack size is about 4 energy bars and weight is 250 grams.I reckon this must be the most powerful energy food for it's size that there is. The make is Vital Nut co, Tunbridge Wells

Malt loaf? Dried Fruit? Apples (and other hard fruit)? Nuts? Muesli/powdered milk mix?
my favourite food (works well for walking and running as well as cycling) are fig rolls. They're a good mix of complex carbohydrate and sugars, taste OK (whether you're after sweet or savoury). And crucially, it's almost impossible to mash them up anymore than they are already - they're much hardier than most things - and are also v. cheap.
Also widely available in France, my preferred brand is Figlou - readily available through the French version of Spa in most villages.
