James Bond’s food: “American cooking at its rare best”

United States

• At Ma Frazier’s in Harlem, famed for its southern cooking, Bond and Leiter eat Little Neck Clams and Fried Chicken Maryland with bacon and sweetcorn while the waiter points out various celebrities.
• After returning to his hotel after his first encounter with Mr Big, James Bond orders calls room serice to order his breakfast: double pineapple juice, cornflakes and cream, shirred eggs with bacon, double espresso, and toast and marmalade.
• While travelling down to St Petersburg in Florida by train Bond orders chicken sandwiches, Old Fashioneds with Old Grandad bourbon and Sanka decaffeinated coffee be brought to their compartment for he and Solitaire.
• Again in their train compartment they order scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, salad, domestic Camembert and dry martinis after dismissing the menu.
• Orange juice, coffee and scrambled eggs at an all-night diner after disembarking the train at Jacksonville.
• Tomato juice, boiled fish with white sauce, frozen turkey with cranberry and lemon curd with cream substitute with Leiter after Solitaire is snatched in St Petersburg.
• Steak and french fries at Pete’s Diner, with a pint of Old Grandad and two cups of strong coffee, after Leiter “disagreed with something that ate him”.
• A three-decker western sandwich and coffee at a cafeteria in Tampa prior to departing for Jamaica via Nassau.
• On the flight Bond enjoys an unspecified early dinner and cocktail prior to a half hour stopover in The Bahamas.

Jamaica

• On his first morning in Jamaica Bond breakfasts on paw-paw with a slice of green lime, red bananas, purple star apples, tangerines, scrambled eggs and bacon, almost black Jamaican marmalade and guava jelly, along with Blue Mountain coffee.
• Quarrel makes a “succulent” meal of fish, eggs and vegetables, which becomes their staple diet while he gets Bond fit in order to take on Mr Big.
• Following the mission Quarrel has a cook help him prepare black crabs, suckling pig, avocado pear salad, guavas and coconut cream for Bond and Solitaire while on “passionate leave”, while Strangways left a case of the best champagne in Jamaica to go with it.
