Nev, that is a funny looking coconut. Anyway, are you able to get good ones here in the USA? I went on vacation to Hawaii and they have coconuts which were fresh off the tree and they were absolutely delicious. When I got back to Washington where I live, the coconuts I bought were pretty nasty by comparison.
The coconut is a standard green-on-the-outside coconut, but they're IMPOSSIBLE to open without some skill and a machete...so they grind them down into a that shape. All you need is a big knife and a couple of well placed whacks and it pops open.
There's a ton of coconut water inside I drink with a straw, then I scrape out the inside with a spoon and eat. It's delicious and very filling! Try getting them at Whole Foods.
Don't buy the brown/hairy coconuts...they're not the same thing.
How would you compare this to my breakfast, and egg sandwich on a bagel with cheese and 3 cups of black coffee?
ReplyDeletewe all have our little vices. But yours is a little out of the norm. i have never heard of such a mixture in a morning
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteOther than the 3 cups of black coffee it doesn't sound so bad!
Kenyantykoon,
I generally try to eat mainly fruit all morning and afternoon.
Is that a coconut?

Funny question, but since this is a financial blog I have to ask: How much do those coconuts sell for?
ReplyDeleteDo you know how valuable coconut milk is, ask a commodities trader for some interesting statistics.
