It didn't look like the picture about at all. It was round and brown, like in a cartoon, where one falls off a tree and whacks someone in the head.FoodandLoathinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059938726316378692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945399240574911185.post-7816823701485133922012-08-14T10:52:21.452-08:002012-08-14T10:52:21.452-08:00The secret to opening a young thai coconut is to u...The secret to opening a young thai coconut is to use a chefs knife and just whack that coconut with the edge of it. It might take me a whack or two to get a usable hole to drain the water and then I carefully pry the top off. And you don't need any special tools (beyond a metal spoon) to scrape the meat out. I used to think it was an unnecessary hassle to use a fresh coconut until I successfully opened one and then TASTED it – wow! Now it's just a fun part of making ice cream.Karen's Vegan Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810760592585581032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945399240574911185.post-24901108885707496392012-08-14T09:54:59.475-08:002012-08-14T09:54:59.475-08:00Your use of fresh coconuts is inspiring to me, but...Your use of fresh coconuts is inspiring to me, but I'm not sure I'll ever be as hardcore as you! I always use the fat from cans of coconut milk in my ice cream, and your way sounds really awesome, but one time, I tried to open a coconut and I beat and beat it until it had beaten me. This was AFTER I'd watched an internet instruction video about how to do it. If I were on Gilligan's Island, I'd have to stick with mangoes.FoodandLoathinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059938726316378692noreply@blogger.com
