And Ian Fleming was not indestructible either of course. As John Pearson wrote in his biography of Fleming, James Bond had claimed his only flesh and blood victim.
I've had sake...can't say it did much for me,like drinking warm liquid rice,it was very sickly as well.
Let's just say it's an acquired taste....just not mine.
I agree,if you are forced to use it,then use it in food,not that i would.
Not surprising given that in that era French cuisine was considered the acme of culinary achievement. It still is, for many people. That said, Bond also evinced a bit of British gustatory chauvinism as well.
On the other hand, I´m not familiar with the shag life of Banshees, but James Bond did help me a lot to get over my shyness.

Ever since a little boy I've hated the smell of cigs , I remember those summer vacations smelling cigs & coffee in the car , ugh.......makes me nauseaus.
No you're not. :P
Glad to know I'm not the only one, Willy! :P
I'm just off for a Dunhill care to join me ?.
I knew you would approve of this, @Thunderfinger! Well I am named after a serial killer after all and I do need to keep up appearances...
Thank you, friend. You have my equal unflinching support in anything you may say or do.
I'm thinking that's a good idea! I've wanted to start one in the past, but I thought it would be a conversation between me and me only.
One goes at a very relaxed pace. Took me exactly one-year-and-10-months to ween myself off completely, with no relapse whatsoever.
Wow, that was early, Birdleson. My dad never smoked reefer, but cigarettes from the age of seven. Those 1950s! Worse than the 60s.
Problem most people have with quiting smoking is that they are denying themselves something that they still want, so all it takes is any anxious situation or even minor stress or weakness, and one reverts. However the non-smoker doesn't turn to cigs, when they are stressed etc, so the goal is to develop the non-smoker mindset over time, which can be done through brainwashing yourself.
Actually Tony Robbins general philosophy applies. Way back I listened to, I think maybe it was his first two tapes. That's all you have to listen to.
Basically he says the human brain is motivated to both avoid pain and seek pleasure. Everything we do is in pursuit of one of those guiding general attitudes.
But he says, the tendency to avoid pain is much stronger than the impetus to seek pleasure. Humans will always prioritize pain avoidance. The smoker regresses because withdrawal involves denial and thus "pain."
Thus to quit, one has to be able to link pain with smoking, not pleasure.
I'll continue later or maybe in a dedicated smoking thread.
Anyway this system did work for me. When I had my last cigarette, I didn't even really want it. A smoking friend dragged me out for a butt. I only joined him to be social, but the actual cigarette had no appeal. It was then that I realized I was free, as I hadn't had one in two weeks prior, and haven't had one since.
The Blofeld Piz Gloria brainwashing had taken effect. :)
