James Bond Breakfast

In the Fleming novels it is stated that Bond has a breakfast routine when he is at his London flat. 

He reads The Times, and has two large cups of very strong coffee, from De Bry in New Oxford Street brewed in a Chemex coffee maker. 

He has an egg served in a dark blue egg cup with a gold ring round the top, boiled for three and a third minutes. 

 

There is also wholewheat toast, Jersey butter and a choice of Tiptree ‘Little Scarlet’ strawberry jam, Cooper’s Vintage Oxford marmalade and Norwegian Heather Honey from Fortnum and Mason, served on blue Minton china. 

Breakfast is prepared by May, his Scottish housekeeper, whose friend supplies the speckled brown eggs from French Marans hens.
