Coconut cream pie for you!! One thing you forgot to say is that coconut is in all shampoos, as some form of sodium lauryl sulfate. So we pay homage to the homely coconut each day, in the U.S. anyway. I would go so far as to say that it is incumbent upon all posters to make some comment about the coconut in every post, since you can't go far in Kerala without seeing a coconut. It is only fair.

And, in keeping with the mother theme of this list, I'll point out that coconut oil is about 50% lauric acid, which is an important component of mother's milk (3 to 21% depending on the diet of the mother.) In the body it is converted to monolaurin, which is antibacterial and antiviral. Coconut oil has shown great promise as a treatment for HIV/AIDS.
