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.

The historic home of playwright Noel Coward offers a nice tour.
Named for the luminous insects seen in the warm evenings, this
house has certainly entertained its share of luminaries from the
political and entertainment worlds including Queen Elizabeth II,
Laurence Olivier, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Alec Guiness,
Peter O'Toole, and Richard Burton. Even today the house is kept
in the same state it was when the Queen Mother came to lunch in
1965. A tour of Firefly includes a look at the home, photos of
the house's many celebrity guests, and the grounds where Coward
is now buried.
