The musical legend was dining at New York restaurant Nick and Toni's with his girlfriend Nancy Shevell recently when the chef ordered a waiter to carry a meat-based amuse bouche to "his vegetarian guests".
According to the New York Post newspaper Paul, who is a regular at the restaurant, reportedly told the waiter: "You can tell the chef to stick it… but don't tell him I said that."
It was recently revealed the 66-year-old musician - who refuses to buy leather shoes and even asked for the leather interior in his Lexus car to be swapped for cloth – stayed in a leather-clad ranch room while on a US road trip with Nancy.
A source said: "He booked the room himself, but wouldn't have realised that it had so much leather in its interior. He would have been a bit annoyed, but the whole point of the trip is to travel anonymously so he wouldn't have caused a fuss. He can't change how other people decorate a room."
