Cocomania

On a visit to Noel Coward's house Firefly you'll hear about "cocomania," a recipe given to the playwright by actress Patricia Neal.

The preparation of this tropical delight is wonderfully simple.

Remove the top portion of a green coconut, fill the inside with a chicken, lamb or shrimp curry, and seal the whole thing up again using a flour paste.

Throw the coconut in the oven and cook.
