As Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond film premieres in London tonight and hits British screens tomorrow, the usual 'is Daniel Craig the best Bond-does he get the girl?' chatter has begun. Rarely does anyone ask, what food does James Bond eat? I am well aware of his fondness for Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred, but the more I thought about it, food of any description - never mind British food - doesn't figure highly in the Bond books or movies.

At breakfast the gorgeous Mr Bond loves eggs, preferably scrambled, with bacon or sausages. He enjoys marmalade or strawberry jam on his toast but the quintessential Brit prefers coffee to tea.For lunch or dinner he has been known to enjoy dressed crab and Black Velvet or roast grouse and pink Champagne, asparagus and hollandaise sauce, steak and French fries or cold roast beef with potato salad. Sadly. other than that it seems his dietary requirements depend on which country he is in.

And to drink...Bollinger Champagne,

Hands up I admit it. My fascination with what James Bond likes to eat started with an excuse to post a picture of Daniel Craig on the blog. You can't blame me, he's gorgeous.

Marmalade? That just *sounds* sexy all on it’s own.

“Marmalade. Spread, not slathered.”
