    Also somewhat related (maybe chess players could use, among other people):
    James Bond's breakfast from From Russia with Love [Google blurb]:

    “Breakfast was Bond's favorite meal of the day,” Fleming writes in From Russia with Love. It's a hearty start to the day, typically consisting of bacon, black coffee, chilled orange juice, toast, marmalade and eggs—usually scrambled, though Bond is known to enjoy a late-night Eggs Benedict every now and then.

    The following link differs, however:
    "...On his first morning in Turkey, Bond orders a breakfast of yogurt and green figs with Turkish coffee from room service...Served in a blue china bowl, the yogurt was “deep yellow and with the consistency of thick cream” and the figs “bursting with ripeness”. The coffee was “jet black and with the burned taste that showed it had been freshly ground."

    I was in an Orleans bar in Ottawa's east end the other day and asked for malt vinegar with my French fries; a Baby-boomer liberal-voting bar mate looked at me and said I must be communist or something - why not have white vinegar like other North Americans? [I 'confirmed' his suspicions when I said I didn't mind flouridated water]:
