p. 34 · Read in the full issue
LORD KILLEARN, Special Commis sioner in South-East Asia, recently had a four-course lunch made mainly from coconut. It cost 9d.
Lord and Lady Killearn were guests of Dr. J. Nicholls, leading nutritional expert, who hopes to persuade Malayans to eat more of their 1,000,000,000 coconuts and so save rice.
The menu was coconut soup, given body by sweet potatoes and flavoured with garlic and onions; fish custard of coco nut meat, fish, and curry wrapped in banana leaves and steamed; curry with Indian peas, potato, and coconut meat basis with onions, beans, and spices added; sago pudding made with coconut meat; coconut milk, and sugar. Coconut candy was provided for dessert.
It was “an alluring meal” Lady Killearn said, adding: “General Montgomery would have liked it for sago is his favourite pudding.” —Crown Colonist
