From The Lavishly Stocked Terran Embassy Larder

We have not had a food post since 27 Jan so we will now list what Flandry and Persis consume in the principal guest suite in the Terran Embassy in Ardaig on Merseia. Persis orders food and drink 'chuted from the lavishly stocked larder and also knows how to program the small meal-preparing server. They consume:

eggs Benedict;
caviar;
akvavit;
champagne;
Perigordian duck with trimmings;
Bordeaux.

Like his first experience of espionage, this meal is an important part of Flandry's "origin story." Flandry has never eaten like this before but Persis believes that she has launched him on the new career of gourmet first class. See Is Dominic Flandry A Gourmet? By spending hours with Persis, Flandry is not goofing off from his job but doing precisely what Abrams has ordered him to do. Flandry caught in flagrante and immediately sent Home in disgrace should be able to smuggle out information before Brechdan realizes that that information has been stolen.
