3h after the ride I started to feel hungry so had a couple of jacket potatoes with beans & cheese, and later I had fruit salad and yogurt, and then oatcakes and stilton.
I’ve managed to eat 4526 of my required 5551 calories for the day, still a 1000 calorie deficit despite eating like a pig. :)

I forget the technical terminology but your body is best disposed to replace the lost glycone stores during the first 90 minutes after a ride, so that would be the time for a high protein, high carb meal. Jacket potatoes with beans & cheese sounds ideal, ideally sooner but better late than never!

If you fail to eat it in the first 90 minutes what negative consequences does it have? Does it make your full recovery time slower?

Yes, that's it, slower recovery time.
For example, take a LEJOG rider: if they do not fully recover after day 1 then day 2's ride will be harder which makes more demands on the less than fully recovered body. It gets worse if this is compounded day after day.
For many of us though, a big ride may be followed by a few lighter days so if we are slower to recover than is optimal it makes little difference.

I find that when my body has 'forgotten' to eat ( this doesn't happen often ) I need to start the process off and then I am okay. Cereal is quite good. Perhaps it is the psychology of it related to breakfast ?
