”They went down the road to a little Indian restaurant where they gorged themselves on onion bhajjis, Lamb Korma with Bombay potatoes, chapatis and a mix of relishes ranging from mango chutney to cucumber raita, finishing with plates of sticky sweet Jalebi. ”At least we’ll only taste each other,” Flicka said as they walked back to the hotel. From their room they rang down to room service where Bond ordered a large pot of coffee, specifying that he wanted it freshly brewed and piping hot, hinting that it would be sent back if it was not to his liking. Saturday nights in provincial British hotels – even in a great university city – often brought out the worst in room service. This time it worked and the coffee was excellent. They drank it together as they sat at one small desk and worked on the note for Tarn.”

007 Food: Brunch with the kipper and kedgeree

Food: Brunch with the kipper and kedgeree
Bond book appearance: SeaFire
Experience of 007 Travelers: Self-made


Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch eaten usually during the the late morning but it can extend to as late as 3PM on Sundays. The word is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch. Brunch originated in England in the late 1800s, and in the 1930s became popular in the United States.

A kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, that has been split in butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold smoked over smouldering woodchips (typically oak).

Kedgeree (or occasionally kitcherie, kitchari, kidgeree, kedgaree, or kitchiri) is a dish consisting of cooked, flaked fish (sometimes smoked haddock), boiled rice, parsley, hard-boiled eggs, curry powder, butter or cream and occasionally sultanas.

"The sun was shining over Cambridge the next morning, but they stayed in their room almost eleven before going down for brunch. The hotel was two-thirds full and just about all  the guests had the same idea, which led to a slight waiting time for the kipper and kedgeree."
