007 Food: Paté and the boeuf Beauceronne

Food: Paté and the boeuf Beauceronne
Bond book appearance: Win, Lose or Die (1989). Bond eats this kind of dinner with Bond girl Clover Pennington in Yeovilton, Somerset, England
Experience of 007 Travelers: At home

“Fifteen minutes later, they were sitting at a table in the quiet, neat restaurant ordering the paté and the boeuf Beauceronne – that delightful and simple dish of rump steak cooked with bacon, potatoes and onions. Within an hour they were talking like old friends, and, indeed knew people in common, for it turned out that, while Clover’s father had been what she called ‘a humble man of the cloth’, his elder brother was Sir Arthur Pennington, Sixth Baronet and master of Pennington Nab, a stately home which Bond had enjoyed, in more ways than one. ‘Oh, you’ll know my cousins, Emma and Jane, then?’ Clover asked, looking up sharply.

“Intimately,” Bond replied flatly, and with a completely straight face.”

John Gardner: “Win, Lose or Die” (1989)
