Lets have your best offers. Not just a list of 'ingredients', must be packable and able to be eaten on the hoof. So far, my list includes good old flapjack (delia's method with lots of butter), peanut brittle, cheddar cheese bagels and pork pies.

Eccles cakes
Sausage rolls

If you want calorie dense, you need fat (I assume this is for the Pennine Way thing?)

I may be peanutted out for them in waps as well. Mac - Sounds good, but not sure I can make that work. I know the polar guys eat lard / butter, but not sure I can stomach it.

Sausage rolls may be easier to eat than pies - good call.
Eccles cakes have that funny fruit stuff in them. If I could just get the pastry ?

Malt loaf, with butter. Squash it and it takes up less space but still tastes exactly the same/has the same texture. Some sort of black magic trickery that is.

Stollen is about now Christmas is coming, blow the dust off a bit and should be calorific enough.

Also banana chips are meant to be horrifically bad for you. Mmmm banana chips.

Sticky rice and tuna balls, with Worcester Sauce. I make these in freezer bags and can drink the contents. Can't chew food when riding hard.

Halva.

Sweet is easy, for calorie dense savoury foods I can't see anything better than cheese and oat cakes.

A bottle of this is 2000 calories, 67% though so the negative effects may outweigh the benefits ๐Ÿ˜†

Butter.

More serious suggestion - pork scratchings. Basically 50% protein, 50% fat. 100% salt. ๐Ÿ˜‰

That's 320 cals of "tartiflette in a tube" right there.

Stick to winter though, it's meant to be refrigerated.

I think you could pack decant that primula into a camel pack, a bit of adjustment of the straps and you should be able to squeeze it under your armpit like bagpipes

Olive oil in a waterbottle.

calories per gram, oils are top.

If you don't fancy drinking it neat, which would be quite understandable, a little bottle of it to slosh on whatever else your eating is one way of doing it.

I asked a similar question a while ago and got some good ideas. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/food-for-multiday-trek
I have ended up with porage, oatcakes, olives, cheese,pasta and halva as main calorie sources with nuts, chocolate, cereal bars, dried fruit and boiled sweets as extras Thats the most calories per gramme we can enjoy eating for 3 or more days
