"007" news and stories

A while back I gave you the recipe for James Bond's Scrambled Eggs, and that got me thinking if there was a site devoted to all the other stuff that 007 likes to eat and drink. And there is.

You can find out the recipe for his martini, of course (though did his drink really contain both vodka and gin?) and find out how to serve caviar the right way. You can even get some idea on throwing a James Bond theme party and take a Bond food quiz.

The site has to be updated though. There's still a picture of Pierce Brosnan on the front page.

And no, I'm not talking about that scene in Casino Royale (those who have seen the movie will know what I'm talking about).

This is a recipe from Ian Fleming himself. The author gave James very specific tastes, and the new issue of British GQ gives the recipe. Speaking of specific, there are some very precise instructions on how to make these eggs, even down to what type of bowl to serve them in, so, as Q would say, pay attention 007!

Free from the shackles of the shaken-not-stirred vodka martini, former James Bond portrayer Pierce Brosnan is currently starring in Bond-like ads for Portuguese beer Cerveja Sagres. The first dialog-free ad features Brosnan fixing dinner for a lady friend (model Laura Mansfield) and running out at the last minute to grab a sixer of Sangres. Realizing he has no cash, he pays the clerk with an enormous diamond. The Sangres site is loaded with music reminiscent of 007 films and even has downloadable versions of the ad (even for your iPod), entitled "Diamantes." Yahoo! News UK has more here.
