Well, it's the peering at things that gets you into trouble...
Oh, I see!
Mmm. Must be the thought of soggy brown toast, not to say orange juice mixed with Worcestershire sauce!
Mind you, if it's got Worcestershire sauce in it, it must be good. The secret wonder ingredient. With croutons!
Come on, Jenny, about time we tried to stump Frances with an impossible C, what? |

| OK - what C, like Flanders and Swann's Wompom, can produce food (is is an important food source for about one-third of the world's population), drink both of an alcoholic and non-alcoholic variety, flooring, something to cook itself with, an extremely healthy cooking oil, is a major ingredient in many beauty products, a fragrance, and acts as a natural laxative if you eat too much of it. |

| Coconut? Though I don't think it's so very im[ortant as a food. |

Hang on, I'm still struggling with that recipe...
Coconut does sound good, though. |

Well, short of dashing out to pour through a Schott's, the recipe's for hangovers. Here's the only site I could find:

But the question was: What C has this recipe? And there you've lost me... except it's called the Coalman.
BTW, I'm just dreaming up a real stinker for you! |

| What C is the study of these, though it is against the law to take, damage or destroy them? |

| Coconut it is - strictly speaking the coconut palm. Damn - I should never have posted all those giveaway things on the Random Factoids thread. Yes, the food source thing surprised me Frances, but it's on the internet so it must be true! |

| You're too good, raindancer, it was indeed a hangover recipe called 'The Coalman' - don't ask me why. |

| I can't remember which thread the dod / coelacanth queries were on; but maybe a question about them could be, 'What C didn't permanently copy the dodo?' |

| Raindancer - not sure I follow your last couple of posts on this thread, but apparently the dodo was a member of the pigeon tribe. |

| 'Dead as a pigeon' doesn't sound quite so euphonious though, does it? |
