I am passionate about James Bond and cooking. Luckily, with so much food mentioned in the Bond books, I've been able to combine both. Follow me on Twitter (@bondmemes) and Facebook (James Bond - Licence to Cook).
Salmon with lemon sauce (or James Bond in Disneyland)
Disneyland Paris is perhaps the most improbable location that the literary James Bond has ever visited. But in 1993, just a year after the park was opened, John Gardner sent Bond there in his novel Never Send Flowers.
Choucroute garnie
Deciding on dinner following his marathon drive through France and into Switzerland in pursuit of Goldfinger, James Bond opts for choucroute at the Bavaria brasserie.
Kedgeree

In the film of Moonraker, James Bond meets Hugo Drax while afternoon tea is being served. Drax regards the ritual as England's one contribution to Western civilisation

If it's Wednesday, then steak and kidney pudding is on the menu in the Secret Service canteen. In The Man with the Golden Gun, this is the information that James Bond offers the Liaison Section to convince them of his identity.
Eggs and bacon in The Spy Who Loved Me
