Well, I did read that he and Shevell ate quiche louraine, among other things--it's a light fluffy pie made with eggs and cheese--on their famous Route 66 Western road trip jaunt.
of course there's always a veg*n version of anything to eat.. so maybe it was veg*n quiche lorraine such as in this recipe - http://www.nyctophilia.net/vegan/quiche.htm or http://www.yummy-licious.info/2011/01/do-it-yourself-vegan-mini-quiche-lorraines/ using tofu instead edit: found this http://nypost.com/2008/08/18/pauls-kicks-on-66/ "McCartney had Nonna?s menu faxed to the hotel where he was staying with gal pal Nancy Shevell as the two followed what was left of Route 66, and called beforehand to inquire whether the quiche Lorraine could be modified to fit his vegetarian diet. ?The person who took the call actually said no,? Burras recalled. ?I immediately called back and said yes. I was damn sure I was going to make it, and I did.? Burras personally prepared the meal. ?I guess now the only person bigger to cook for is the pope,? he said." and http://newsok.com/paul-mccartney-sleeps-dines-in-oklahoma-city/article/3280282 "?We have a signature tomato soup we make with those same tomatoes we grow. Then they had spinach quiche, which isn?t on the menu but they requested.?"

hopefully it's at least veg*n too
(especially since it's 'for Paul')The artist has posted back now - the cake is purely an artistic creation. There is actually no food in it, being built up of Styrofoam and clay apparently. Martin

But isn't Paul a Vegetarian and they eat eggs, right?
Sir Paul is a vegetarian, but that doesn't mean HE 'eats eggs'. yes, there are people who call themselves 'vegetarians' who do eat eggs, but those are called 'ovo-vegetarians' (and others who consume eggs and dairy who are called 'ovo-lacto-vegetarians') but the term 'vegetarian' by itself is what it indicates. 'vege', not animal. as for Sir Paul, i doubt he eats eggs, not after doing the 'glasshouses' exposé documentary which shows enough for him to shun eggs.
Heather Mills was a vegan and Paul stated he couldn't be one. Linda's cookbook featured some dairy and veggie meats usually have egg whites in them to hold them together. Not all but many do.

Pretty sure he does eat eggs...heard him in a recent interview saying (when asked) that his favorite food was egg and chips. Probably not those that are from factory farms though, I'd imagine.

hmm pretty odd that a widely-known vegetarian would choose an answer with 'eggs' at all, when there are a myriad of actual 'VEGE' preparations he could answer with for the sake of not seeming to make it look like 'eggs are ok' to the mass of people, since as you said, 'eggs from factory farms/the general chicken-murder industry' are what one who is concerned would stay away from, but which is what is widely what is sold.. i found this from 2007 -
(he says his favourite meal is 'veggie roast, all veggie', no mention of eggs.) however elsewhere i found "Paul is a strict vegetarian, first of all. He has mentioned in a number of interviews that he likes a variety of foods, but has a particular fondness for the following: mashed potatoes with diced onion, a certain vegetarian roast (Brand name was not disclosed), and a British invention called "Chip Butty and Eggs", which is two HEAVILY buttered slices of bread sandwiching a generous amount of "chips" (or what Americans call steak fries), and eggs fried over-easy." it's funny to see someone being called 'a strict vegetarian' when one is open to eating eggs. 'strict vegetarian' would usually indicate that one eats no flesh at all, including no eggs, which IS a form of flesh. found this from 2009 when on Howard Stern's show he was asked about it, which revealed more factually about his 'position'. http://vegetarianstar.com/2009/01/16/paul-mccartney-rejects-robin-quivers-breasts-gives-thoughts-on-chicken-eggs/ "Stern told his vegan sidekick, Robin Quivers, to ?show Paul her breasts.? McCartney, being the gentleman he is, immediately protested, to which Quivers responded, ?I?ve been rejected by Paul McCartney.? McCartney is in the U.S. to attend the inauguration next week and Quivers tried to smooth talk her way into coming along by reminding him of their shared interests. ?I?m a vegan, too. Take me to the inauguration. Kids love me.? Paul is only vegetarian, but close enough. Neither breasts, nor shared diet could win over Paul, but he did share some insight on why he feels it?s okay to eat dairy, such as eggs. When Stern asked, ?Isn?t an egg a chicken abortion?? Paul replied it wasn?t and said ?We don?t like to think of it like that.? Hens abandon their eggs in nature, so that?s why it?s okay and not animal cruelty, he explained. Time for you vegans to shout out! What do you think about Paul?s rationale? Some say that meat is okay because animals kill each other in nature. Is his argument similar?" this response to the article is also my position on the matter - One Response to ?Paul McCartney Rejects Robin Quivers? Breasts, Gives Thoughts On Chicken Eggs? Elaine Vigneault Says: January 22nd, 2009 at 10:33 pm a) A chicken egg is more like a period than an abortion. b) The ones humans eat aren?t generally the abandoned kind. They?re the cruelly factory farmed kind. c) The eggs humans eat usually come from a chicken destined to be slaughtered at a fraction of her life span and her body ground up for pet food or some such. yes, those points are exactly it.. so as such a famous, influential 'vegetarian', i would have hoped that he would be more exemplifying this by not eating eggs (and dairy, if he does, which i guess he does) for the very reasons stated above, since knowing behooves one to act, and even if he is eating eggs that are 'from hens who lay naturally and which are unfertilized', then that should also be made clear to make the pro-animal-rights/anti-murder-of-animals stance be clearer, because supporting the 'egg industry' in general is supporting the slaughter of chickens industry.. come on Sir Paul..

another 'interesting' read, including especially the comments below the article http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/paul-mccartney/paul-mccartney-life-as-a-vegetarian-linda-mccartney_b_2545038.html yes, to really walk the walk, go vegan Sir Paul.. the same reasons i was influenced by you and Linda regarding what you say about waking up and realizing about the abuse and murder of our fellow creatures is exactly why i am vegan. the dairy and egg industry supports this very cruelty, so from a lifelong fan and 20-year-vegetarian/10-year-vegan, i beseech you on behalf of the cows and chickens..

'strict vegetarian' doesn't mean vegan. It means the person isn't going to compromise by sometimes eating fish or chicken. and this thread has been derailed. It's about a cute and pretty cake. the veggie stuff belongs in Cosmically Conscience. *sigh*. It's a really cute cake.

always funny when you call this section 'cosmically CONSCIENCE' (a lot of times i see you refer to it as that). the word is 'CONSCIOUS' as in 'being aware'. although having 'CONSCIENCE' (that which gives a being empathy) would be a start for being 'CONSCIOUS' regarding the lives of animals and therefore going vegan. and as femaleanimal pointed out, this IS in the C.C. section. Martin moved the posts on Sunday to C.C. section.

I think I read he loved cheese and that why he wouldn't become a vegan. Heather tried to get him not to eat milk or cheese. Isn't vegan raw veggies only? She really became a starch vegan which Iam betting who responsible for Bea diet. I think she insisted on Paul making sure she was vegan only. Seems like meal time must be a lot of work.

No, you can have cooked food when you are a vegan, just no animal products. It is really not difficult, especially with all the alternatives available now. Heather was not even a vegetarian before she met Paul (although she claims otherwise).

actually, it's not. I was wondering the answer and this is a Paul message board.
