By Listener Request... The Food and Drink of James Bond, 007

Thanks to Frank on Instagram (@HansGruberr) for suggesting this topic. In fact, ‘007’s Drinks’ was the request, but since I have covered some of these on my Youtube channel already (www.youtube.com/britishculture), I thought I’d broaden it out to include food from the original James Bond novels by as well.The key reference books I use in this episode are:"For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming + James Bond" by Ben Macintyre "License to Cook" by Edward Biddulph"The Complete Guide to the Drinks of James Bond" by David Leigh…and of course, I quote three Ian Fleming novels with the most vivid and memorable (to me) food descriptions, "Casino Royale" (1953), "From Russia With Love" (1957) and "Goldfinger" (1959).  I also mention (and recommend) the podcast and Youtube channels 'From Tailors with Love'  and 'Quantum of History'.  Thank you also to everyone who recently subscribed to my newsletter!

What is 'British-ness'? This podcast explores all aspects of British culture from the perspective of an Englishman previously based in China and Turkey. Perhaps you know Thomas already from Instagram's @FlemingNeverDies or @JamesBond_Turkiye , both centered on Ian Fleming's classic creation, James Bond, 007. Here, we can see a wider background of where our British hero sits.
