A combination of soft, spreadable goat cheese (ch\u00e8vre) and hard goat cheddar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starr doesn&#8217;t say that his ideal sandwich must be limited to a single kind of goat cheese, and in his re-creation, he chooses a soft, spreadable ch\u00e8vre and a firm, grazeable goat&#8217;s milk cheddar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He toasts two slices of bread in a pan until golden brown on both sides. (You can toast the bread in butter, but if you want to stay true to Starr&#8217;s preference for no cow products, a plant-based margarine would work well.) He then spreads a thick layer of ch\u00e8vre on one slice, grates a generous amount of the firm goat cheese over it, and finishes the sandwich with the other piece of toast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RingoConcert.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RingoConcert.jpg 936w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RingoConcert-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RingoConcert-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RingoConcert-104x74.jpg 104w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RingoConcert-850x598.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ringo&#8217;s All Starr Band resumes touring for the 28th year, with 10-date fall tour across the eastern and northeastern United States in September and October 2026.

Paul McCartney has been a vegetarian since 1975.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCartney and his first wife, Linda, made the choice while relaxing at their 151-acre ranch near Tucson, Arizona. They watched lambs playing outside the window while eating a meal that included lamb chops, noticing the direct connection between the living animal and the food on their plates. He follows a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, meaning no meat and fish, but still eats dairy and eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He frequently works with groups like PETA to speak out against factory farming. He once said, &#8220;If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2009, he and his daughters launched a global campaign to encourage people to skip meat one day a week to help the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">George Harrison focused on a vegetarian lifestyle in 1966, influenced by his exploration of Indian culture and Hinduism, sticking with it for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GeorgeLentyls.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GeorgeLentyls.jpg 936w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GeorgeLentyls-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GeorgeLentyls-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GeorgeLentyls-850x575.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">George Harrison and lentils, perfect for meal prep. Photo courtesy of EatingWell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His diet was heavily influenced by his embrace of Hinduism and Eastern philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He connected deeply with &#8216;ahimsa,&#8217; the Indian principle of non-violence toward all living things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He often stated that killing animals for food was unnatural, unhealthy, and created bad karma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ringo Starr embraced a meat-free diet later on for health and ethical reasons, adopting it more consistently in his later life. He stopped eating meat in 1965 after witnessing a bullfight in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bullfight.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bullfight.jpg 936w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bullfight-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bullfight-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bullfight-850x680.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seeing the slaughter of a bull in Spain led Ringo to vegetarianism.

He is not vegan and, as stated above, consumes goat cheese, though he avoids dairy products from cows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Lennon experimented with vegetarianism briefly on and off starting around 1967 (often leaning toward a macrobiotic diet that occasionally included fish), making him the only member who never fully committed to a permanent vegetarian lifestyle. John Lennon was not permanently a vegetarian, though he experimented with vegetarian and macrobiotic diets for much of his later life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Yoko Ono, he largely followed a macrobiotic diet focused on whole grains, rice, and vegetables, which occasionally permits eating fish (pescatarian elements).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He never fully committed to lifelong vegetarianism; he regularly lapsed back into eating meat, fast food and junk food or a full English breakfast when it suited him.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/JonLennonBreakfast.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/JonLennonBreakfast.jpg 576w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/JonLennonBreakfast-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/JonLennonBreakfast-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John Lennon&#8217;s favorite breakfast was the iconic full English breakfast.
