Ive just finished reading Octopussy and The Living Daylights completing the Fleming series which was fantastic! In the final short story '007 In New York', Fleming gives Bond's recipe for scrambled eggs....so who's tried it then? I bet someone has!

I didn't try the scrambled eggs, but I tried the Eggs Benedict. Quite good

Recipes?

[Sbott]

There was a thread in this section called "Culinary Bond" which contained this recipe and a few others and comments from those that had tried them.

Maybe the moderator would want to merge them?

I've both eaten and prepared for others Scrambled Eggs James Bond. I rather like the dish and do recommend giving it a try.

If I didn't have a dislike of eggs, I probably would have given this recipe a try at one point or another.

While I haven't ever faithfully re-created the exact recipe, I am a huge fan of scrambled eggs (especially for lunch)...

Ah, enlightening.

Have you tried any Bond recipes / dishes containing foods that you Do like then?

Surely, but as this topic was focused solely on this one (being one of the more well-known bits of food/drink to come out of the Fleming novels besides the martini), it seemed logical to only mention my dislike of it.

I thought this thread was going to be about the torture scene in Casino Royale.

No, haven't tried them.

I haven't tried this recipe, but I did eat the same meal that Ian Fleming ate while being interviewed for Esquire (or was it Playboy?) - a dozen Cherry Neck Clams and a Miller High Life (Fleming said in the interview that he liked High Life because the name was so romantic). It was an excellent meal

Scrambled eggs a la James Bond are quite good. They're slightly moist and buttery (no surprise there). I look forward to having them again. While the eggs were true to Fleming's recipe, we did not use copper plates (we had none) and did not eat the eggs by candlelight with low music. And while we did drink pink champagne, it was from a ten dollar bottle we got at Safeway.

I've made scrambled eggs in a very similar manner a couple of time. I don't know where Fleming got his recipe, but James Beard used to claim a very similar preparation as his favorite.

Remember when you try it however that the eggs will not have the look or texture of more traditional restaurant-style scrambled eggs. There will be no clumps of any kind and the eggs will have a pudding-like texture. Rather than follow Fleming's recipe to the letter, you can first simply beat a number of eggs of your choosing. Melt the desired amount of butter in a pan over low heat. Add the eggs and stir, stir, stir, stir until they start to set. Don't let a skin form on the bottom of the pan as you would were you making an omelet. Herbs and additions other than salt and pepper are optional.

One of my favorite late night meals after returning home with a beautiful lady.

Fireplace, soft jazz, scent of said lady's perfume, wee dram of scotch during preperation to be followed by ice cold champagne and 'Eggs James Bond' with plenty of toast.

Nothing better after 2am at the end of a grand evening out.

...Aside from the lady.

[Scrambled Eggs]

And I served it with a couple of Cuba Libre cocktails instead of Pink Champagne... Ahem...

Thinking about it, wouldnt following the recipe to the letter go against the whole Bond ethos? Kudos for Cuba Libres.

[Double-0-7]

Came across this thread this morning and the eggs sounded tempting. So, that is what I made for lunch. No champagne, just grapefruit/orange juice mix, but still quite nice!

[Bryce (003)]

Just finishing a plate now.

Over the hot, thick cut and liberally buttered toast it went down quite well accompanied by a light mimosa and two cups of Jamaican Blue Mountain roast.

Seasoned with a pinch of garlic salt, dash of tabasco, and fresh chives.

Now that's a Saturday morning. Well, short of having it prepared by a scantily clad lady.

I'll work on adding that ingredient tonight.
