A couple of guys came to visit us in LA, and it was them that said, \u2018Man, you\u2019ve got to try this\u2019,\u201d said the drummer. \u201cThey had it in a bottle with an eye-dropper, and they dropped it on sugar cubes and gave it to us. That was my first trip. It was with John and George, and Neil and Mal. Neil had to deal with Don Short while I was swimming in jelly in the pool. It was a fabulous day. The night wasn\u2019t so great, because it felt like it was never going to wear off. 12 hours later and it was: \u2018Give us a break now, Lord\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starr has always been open about his <a href=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/the-one-album-that-made-lindsey-buckingham-hate-stevie-nicks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"The one album that made Lindsey Buckingham hate Stevie Nicks: \u201cDrugs affect everything\u201d\">problems with drugs and alcohol<\/a>, and now that he\u2019s clean, he\u2019s happy to talk about his history with such issues, coming off pretty blas\u00e9 when discussing his affinity for different substances, as when asked about the kind of stuff he was on, he replied, \u201cI\u2019d take anything\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting, then, to learn that there are a lot of foods which we would consider incredibly mundane that Ringo Starr refuses to put in his body. Drip some acid onto a sugar cube, and the drummer will wolf it down, but if you even try to serve him a ham and cheese sandwich, you\u2019d better run and take the sandwich with you. <\/p>\n<p>So, what are the different types of food that Ringo Starr refuses to eat? <\/p>\n<p>Five foods Ringo Starr simply won\u2019t eat:  <a class=\"fw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"\"> ADD AS A PREFERRED SOURCE ON GOOGLE <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" src=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/far-out-magazine\/img\/google-discover.svg\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/a>  The Far Out Beatles Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>All the latest stories about The Beatles from the independent voice of culture.<br \/>Straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credits: Far Out \/ Alamy \/ United Artists \/ Public Domain) Fri 27 March 2026 16:30, UK George&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,24566,10447,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-499165","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-ringo-starr","11":"tag-the-beatles","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
