Octopussy (1983)

Question: When Bond is having dinner with Kamel, they were served a stuffed sheep's head. Why did Bond say that he "lost his appetite" and not eat his sheep's head entree? (Could the camera zoom in of Gobinda's eye be a hint that the food was tainted?)

Answer: After he looks at the sheep's head, he then does a double take at Gobinda who is staring directly at him. Bond then says, "It's odd, but when I'm stared at...I seem to lose my appetite."

Chosen answer: Bond is a world traveler and often samples the best that the local cuisine has to offer, however, even he has limits. Lots of people would lose their appetite upon seeing the severed head of an animal staring back at them on their plate. Kamal has also just told Bond how he plans to drug and interrogate him, so not eating or drinking anything would be a smart idea.

Curiously he did eat the souffle starter, there is a clip of him putting a forkful in his mouth.
