What Does James Bond Eat?

There's always plenty of questions around James Bond and the James Bond movies ... 'is Daniel Craig the best Bond-does he get the girl?' type-of-thing. Rarely does anyone ask, what does James Bond eat or what about James Bond food and drinks? 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, and thanks to Colleen Graham, About.com's Guide to Cocktails for these recipes for his other favorite drinks.
