Am moving up to iron distance this year but am struggling with on the bike feeding. For half irons I normally drip feed every 15 min on Hi 5 energy bars cut into four bits.
I used this plan at the weekend on an 80 mile sportive but found it really boring and totally unappetising after a while.
I'm thinking of trying something more real like mini pork pies or other savoury treats
Has anyone out there tried this or some alternative, I'm not a fan of gels either.
Obviously I don't want to end up with a bout of the two bob bits once on the run (no pun intended)

I've used chicken tenders in the past on long rides.
I too struggle with gels and energy bars - I've found a tailwind goes a long way and isn't too sweet / hard on the stomach.
The caveat being I've only done up to half.
Hopefully TRO will be along shortly, he's the most experienced Iron distance racer here I know of.

Sam swears by Tailwind for his ultras - no cycling involved many lots hours on the go and zero digestive complications.

Dingley - its a case of whatever floats your boat and suits you, in my case I have eaten roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings on long rides, and I have used roast spuds during the IM bike leg (top tip - freeze them first so they're a bit easier to eat on the hoof). Other people swear by cheese and marmite sandwiches, pork pies, so nothing is daft really.

^^ I should say that freezing them makes them a bit more soft when defrosted, and not to eat them frozen 
which race are you doing ?

Fraggle - many thanks for the advice, sounds like a full finger buffet could be in order.
I'm doing the UK Ultimate on 2nd June so I've got a few weeks yet to try a few things out. Funny thing is I have a some roast spuds in the freezer so will give them a go
