The Beatles wanted Borscht?
How about the Who wanted Hunan?
Blues Traveler wanted Blue Point oysters?
Chicago wanted deep-dish pizza.
Boston wanted beans (not you, beans
).
Wham wanted ham.
Liszt wanted Quist.
[Orlando di] Lasso wanted tasso.
Tartini wanted Porcini. (But this is too easy with Italian names, isn't it?)
Gounod wanted Pernod.
OK, I think I'll quit...

For those unfamiliar with how bizarre backstage riders can be, check out The Smoking Gun. Van Halen banning brown M&Ms is, well, peanuts .

Following a perfprmance Gioacchino and Dame Nelly had Ouefs Mollets Rossini, Poularde Rossini, Tournedos Rossini, and Peaches Melba. They skipped the Pasta Norma, too many carbs, you know.
