The Incredible Edible Egg in Literature

I’ve been reading James Bond books for the past year. Ian Fleming liked omelets or scrambled eggs. In many of the Bond books, he gets over his injuries after having a good breakfast and a cold shower. In the short story, “James Bond in New York,” Bond gets a good steak.

Buy a spy story and get a treatise on eggs and steak.

Hercule Pirrout has a thing for hard boiled eggs and toast. He has a simple omelette in “Death in the Clouds.” (I read Death in the Clouds after watching the Dr. Who episode with Agatha Christie.)

Joanna Fluke has a series of books with dessert foods in the title. No eggs in a title. Think she’ll have an omelette mystery?
