Scrambled, Not Shirred

Tom Weiss, writing for Lucky Peach:

James Bond’s favorite meal of the day was breakfast. It was also the favorite meal of Ian Fleming, 007’s creator. Fleming made breakfast not only “Bond’s favorite meal of the day,” but also “an important part of Bond’s day.” This was not mere rhetoric. Among the five hundred meals mentioned in the entire Bond oeuvre, 115 were breakfasts, eighty of them described in appetizing detail.
