"He believed that since the coconut grew high up in the tree, closest to God and closest to the sun, it was godlike," says Kracht. "And since it had hair and looked like a human head, he thought it came closest to being a man. According to his rather crackpot theory, to be a cocovore was to be a theophage — or eater of God."
Then apparently I like to fry steaks in a couple of spoonfuls of liquid God, and wash it down with the blood of Christ (ie, wine).
If it's cut that can stand the heat of a grill/bbq, it will have enough fat in it to keep itself moist and to prevent it from sticking, as the fat will start to melt.
This Death by Coconut reminds me some mice from my colleague Jun.
These mice had a mutation in one gene but they were doing fine.
One Friday Jun gave them a chow diet from another supplier. The following Monday all mutant mice were died, control mice were OK.
TLDR, the new diet contained coconut oil instead of lard. After more study, this serendipitous observation led to discover a gene important for the break down of vegetal fat.

For some reason, I find it makes beef taste better. Not sure why, I'm usually a purist when it comes to that sort of thing.

And the way commercial butchers carve steaks nowadays, they cut off too much fat. Its annoying.
The book's subject matter makes it fit even better when you consider Imperium is also the title of Francis Parker Yockey's opus.
