Coconut

Yes, it's a lovely flavour, especially in a glaze for chicken. Coconut trees on a beach look so exotic too, but what I think of are coconut shies.

I don't see them at fairs and fetes anymore. The game of hurling a ball at the coconuts with the hope of knocking them off their pedestals is still there but other things are used nowadays instead of coconuts.

My dad enjoyed the old-style coconuts shies so much. He walloped that ball at the coconuts, spinning it like a cricket bowler. His face went red and he sweated buckets as he determined to win. I am pleased to say he often did.

That's how I got my first taste of coconut milk. Mmm, lovely!
