Coconut has been enjoying some serious time in the spotlight these days and I'm all for it. My parents were born in Sri Lanka, which is prime coconut-eating territory. Coconut appears in some form in basically every dish the island has to offer. Literally every one. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Not to mention, the spoons are made of coconut shells, the floor is cleaned with brooms made from coconut fibers, the mats underfoot are woven coconut husks, the ubiquitous, brutally strong liquor is fermented coconut sap, and if you’re my dapper grandfather, your hair is slicked back with coconut oil.
