Experience of 007 Travelers: Self-made


"They had a late lunch of fish soup made with plenty of lemon-juice, and half a dozen each of the admirable little quail-sized birds that fall to the gun all over Greece at this time of the year, accompanied by a sensible modicum of retsina. Litsas refused coffee and took himself off, explaining he must visit the harbourmaster's office, not merely to stay within the law by presenting the Altair's papers there, but to keep his ears open and drop a few carefully-framed questions in that centre of island gossip."

Robert Markham: "Colonel Sun" (1967)




Ingredients for fish soup: onion, carrots, salmon, potato and dill

Half a dozen quail-sized birds; pheasants in our case

Hugo Drax: Oh, really, Mr Bond! Take my gun - a stray bird may fly over. 

James Bond: I only stopped to thank you for your hospitality. Fraser will get you to the airport. Come now.

James Bond: I doubt if I'm in your class.

Hugo Drax: You're too modest. Over there. You missed.

James Bond: Did I? (Bond shoots Drax's henchman) As you said, such good sport.
