Casino Royale

Breakfast at Hotel Splendide: half a pint of iced orange juice, three scrambled eggs and bacon, a double portion of coffee without sugar.

At the Splendide after the failed assassination attempt on Bond: pate de fois gras, cold langouste, thick, hot toast.

Dinner at the Splendide with Vesper: caviar, small underdone tournedos with Bernaise sauce, artichoke hearts, an avocado pear with French dressing for dessert and Taittinger Brut Blanc de Blanc '43.

Veuve Clicquot, scrambled eggs and bacon in Le Roi Galant after defeating Le Chiffre at the tables.

At L'Auberge du Fruit Defendu Bond and Vesper have pate', French bread with yellow butter in ice chips, broiled lobster, champagne, coffee and brandy.


Live and Let Die

Lunch in a plush room on the 20th story of an office building in Manhattan as described by Leiter: "Soft shelled crabs with tartare sauce, flat beef hamburgers, medium rare, from the charcoal grill, French fried potatoes, broccoli, mixed salad with Thousand Island dressing, ice cream with melted butterscotch, and as good a liebfraumilch as you can get in America. Okay?"

Breakfast at the St. Regis hotel in New York: a large orange juice, three eggs slightly scrambled, with bacon, a double portion of cafe espresso with cream, toast and marmalade.

Dinner with Felix at Ma' Frazier's in Harlem: little neck clams, fried chicken Maryland with bacon and sweet corn.

Breakfast at the St. Regis before boarding the Silver Phantom for Florida with Solitaire: large pineapple juice, Cornflakes and cream, shirred eggs with bacon, double portion of caffe espresso, toast and marmalade.

Lunch with Solitaire on the Silver Phantom: Old Fashioneds made with Old Graddad, chicken sandwiches, decaffeinated Sanka.

After rejecting a couple of fancifully-described items on the Silver Phantom menu as "eyewash," Bond orders for himself and Solitaire a simple meal of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, a salad, and domestic Camembert which Bond regards as "one of the most pleasant surprises on American menus."

At a sleazy dive in Jacksonville with Solitaire: "orange juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, twice."

Bond and Leiter dining at the Everglades "oldster" resort in St. Petersburg after the kidnapping of Solitaire: "What it came down to was tomato juice, boiled fish with a white sauce, a strip of frozen turkey with a dab of cranberry, and a wedge of lemon curd surmounted by a whorl of stiff cream substitute."

Prior to his battle with the Robber, Bond has the "largest steak he's ever seen" (rare), with fries, a quarter pint of Old Grand-dad, and draughts of very strong coffee at a "dark and friendly" place called Pete's.

In the motel cafeteria near the Tampa airport Bond has a "delicious three decker Western sandwich and coffee."

Bond's first breakfast in Jamaica consisted of "paw paw [papaya] with a slice of green lime, a dish piled with red bananas, purple star apples, and tangerines, scrambled eggs and bacon, Blue Mountain coffee...Jamaican marmalade...and guava jelly."

The meal to be prepared for Bond and Solitaire on their first night of "passionate leave" by Jamaica's finest chef working under Quarrel's gimlet eye: black crabs, roast suckling pig, avocado pear salad, guavas and coconut cream, and Commander Strangway's private stash of the "best Champagne in Jamaica."


Moonraker

At the Secret Service canteen: grilled sole, a large mixed salad with Bond's own mustard-laced dressing, brie and toast, a half carafe of white Bordeaux, two cups of black coffee.

At Blades with M: smoked salmon, lamb cutlets, peas and new potatoes, asparagus with Hollandaise, a slice of pineapple, pre-war Wolfschmidt vodka from Riga, and a '46 Dom Perignon.

At the Cafe Royal in Dover, Bond has scrambled eggs, bacon and "plenty of coffee."

At the Granville Hotel following Bond and Brand's near death under the Dover cliffs: three brandies-and-sodas, fried soles, Welsh rarebits and coffee.


Diamonds Are Forever

At Scott's, near MI6 headquarters, Bond and Chief-of-Staff Bill Tanner have dressed crab and a pint of Black Velvet.

Bond refers to something Auric Goldfinger is eating as a "curried mess," so I daresay Indian takeout would never be on 007's menu. What Bond doesn't want, I will gladly take off his hands.

I think Fleming would have eventually sent Bond off to India at some point, had he lived longer, especially considering its colonial past.
No doubt Fleming would have gone there himself when writing the novel, and I think he would have probably quite enjoyed chilli crab, or tandoori lobster (I had this in Mumbai and it was superb).

It's just that back in the 1950's Indian food wasn't that popular. I don't think Indian restaurants really took off in the UK until the 70's.

I remember Connery's Bond had Coffee, Yogurt and Figs for breakfast?

What kind of breakfast is that?

a bit weak, isn't it?

No. That's a real man's breakfast and typical of Istanbul. That detail was straight out of Fleming's FRWL.

Coffee, very black.

I always use, "Thank god for a man who can make up his mind" line whenever friends/cousins done with their time-wasting pondering and ordering. Rolling my eyes of course.

Wife finally picked up Fleming, but being pregnant, it made her crave for this and that a lot reading the books. She's now reading Moonraker...

This is making me incredibly hungry. Apart from the broccoli.

I wish Ambler would take me for a dinner like that instead of to the crappy kebab stand every time.

Meals are performance related. I usually give Rave a Mars bar so you're doing well.

Few authors have written more tantalizingly and fascinatingly about food than Ian Fleming.

And I like a girl who's got a healthy appetite.

That's very true.

It's precisely those wonderfully decadent aspects of Bond - live well because you never know how long you have to live - that have been so comprehensively removed by the current EON regime. Shoot'emup adventures are ten a penny, Bond was something very different,

I agree that we need to see an emphasis on Bond's foodmanship greater than we've ever seen in the films. Just look at the litany of grand and stupendous meals Bond consumed in the Fleming novels! (And we're nowhere near the end of the list.) This aspect of Fleming's Bond has never been realized on film to my satisfaction. Then again, I'm a bit of a trencherman myself.

Here's where we stand on the food front:

Very appetizing list Khan

I suddenly have a hankering for this: "Oeufs Gloria and a green salad. OG consists of chopped hard boiled eggs with a cream and cheese sauce laced with English mustard."

Will have to make due with a bowl of Shreddies though and half grapefruit. Sigh.

Scrambled eggs and bacon. Always a classic breakfast.

Funny how scrambled eggs have never caught on as a Bondian symbol quite the way the vodka martini, shaken not stirred, has.

:)

Fleming loved 'em ... for all Bond's being a 'bon viveur', his creator's tastes were essentially pretty simple.

Think the 'Bill's On The Beach' fare makes me drool the most. Good thread, Khanners :) .

I don't think I've ever read a meal more appetizingly described than the Bill's on the Beach repast in Goldfinger. Incidentally, Bill's on the Beach is a real place. It's known as Joe's Stone Crab.

I don't think I ever seen Bond in the films eat Chinese Food or I could be mistaken.

He didn't eat Chew Mee in TMWTGG, did he?

I would've. Though best to check the sell-by date located on her mons pubis beforehand.

They don't take reservations.

I understand it's now a bit of a celebrity hangout. If so, not my kind of place.

I'd love to go there to eat what Bond ate in Goldfinger. It's the one time my mouth really watered and stomach rumbled when reading the Bond novels....stone crabs, toast and champagne.
