"Ride food" vs real food

Raining like hell in Sicily today, but we're still moving into our new place so it's not so bad. For some reason Larry was thinking about the few who bring what we call "engineered food" (you know, the bars, gels, chomps, goos, etc.) on their tours with us -- and most often end up taking most of it back home with them. Here's a link to a Chris Horner diary entry - from a guy who HAS to eat this stuff - about the joys of real food. With real food in mind, the photo is of a tasty risotto al barolo Heather created awhile back.
