"roger moore" news and stories

Oh James!

It turns out one of Her Majesty's secret agents lived the high life only in the movies. The James Bond of the 1970s, Roger Moore, won't eat foie gras, and he won't speak to friends who do either.

"Before I knew how it was produced I would often pick at it at parties just because it was on offer -- though I never ate too much of it because of its huge calorific content," he writes Tuesday in an op-ed in the Daily Mail. "Since I have understood the cruelty attached to its production I have never touched it again. I now boycott restaurants where it is served."

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.
