you can use what ever takes your fancy really Rev - I think most people would suggest small items to eat - no need to pack a sausage sandwich or pork pie.
Its all about experimenting really, you may find as you extend you're distances your stomach sorts of contracts and you may need a good meal afterwards or even the next day - hydration is important - drink when thirsty, in fact eat when hungry.
and you've also probably noticed people have suggested more or less everyday things from the super market - not much need for fads - or expensive supplements - most of watch just contain sugar & caffeine! + symbols no one except a chemist can understand.

9bars are nice, I quite like rhubarb and custard boiled sweets. Shot blox. Malt loaf. And even salted boiled spuds are great on really long runs.

Wraps with hummus, guacamole, grated cheese, tuna / mayo sadnwiches, Mars bars, Snickers (all can be cut up into 'bite'size' pieces)
Jaffa cakes, fig rolls, sausage rolls, Pepperoni, Cornish pasties :-O, pork pie (never underestimate the restorative properties of a pork pie and two ibruprofen on a bad long run), pizza, Haribos, JB's, Squirms (these are ace), fruit gums, Cliff bars, chocoate covered raisins, jars of baby food :-O, bananas, Chunky Kit-kats, Milky Ways (these melt in the summer and can be squezed out of the wrappers a bit like gels ;-)), custard, rice-pudding, Wherthers Orginals, Extra Strong Mints, Polos
A nice idea is to make up a little goodie bag with a few each of your favourites sweets in and stick it in your pocket or bumbag, which reminds me, marsh-mallows and Kendal mint cake
I've tried (or seen used) all of the above and they're all good if you can get them down and keep them down

I've been using home-made kendal mint cake (google for recipe). Seems to have worked pretty well - the stuff goes down without too much trouble, though I added some salt to the recipe, which makes it more palatable IMO.

Anything that you want to eat and has some nutritional value.
On very long runs, I used to want a savoury as much as a sweet taste. Jelly babies (as they're cheap) and ham sandwiches did it for me. Oh, and good quality sausages. I couldn't do peanuts or wine gums. I must give pork pies a go. And maybe black pudding.
Make sure that you do a couple of long runs using the fuel that you will be using for the race, though.

Both ginger cake and jam butties can survive being squashed

Same as water or Nuuns  Or use the small cartons or pre-preapared gear. Pizza is tougher but it rolls up okay
