What's a nosebag?   Something that horses ate oats from while working all day.  
The bag hung over the nose and was secured by a strap over the neck. And 
something campers use for quick snacks for quick energy on the trail. The 
snacks are eaten slowly over a period of time. Dried Fruits, nuts, candies, 
and cereals provide both quick and slow burning fuels for the feet.
