But I still love 'em! Love coconut milk too. The milk should be fairly thin and watery... if it was strong, it had already turned. Then you dump the milk and eat the meat... unless it's really turned. Ack. Just watch out though, that stuff has some properties that will make you want to enjoy in moderation... or beat a fast track to the toilet. <br /><br />But coconuts be damned... a warm, sunny ocean full of lobsters and fish! That's what I need right now.Philliphttp://www.hog-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-72229903273632600602010-01-28T19:34:15.551-06:002010-01-28T19:34:15.551-06:00I should probably also mention that's the firs...I should probably also mention that's the first time I'd ever seen them in their husks. I'd always seen them husked, though, sadly, they didn't quite resemble the "bowling ball" coconuts from cartoons. :)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829766843115897356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-15088997948292587262010-01-28T19:32:53.802-06:002010-01-28T19:32:53.802-06:00You have to get the coconut at just the right time...You have to get the coconut at just the right time, otherwise its milk doesn't taste too good. Kind of green and planty, if that makes any sense.<br /><br />When I was in Thailand in 1990 whilst in the Marines, a buddy cracked one open and I took a sip. I remember it was kind of sweet, which made it palatable.<br /><br />That's also the first place I ever had real fresh pineapple. I don't know how many I ate. Sweet. Juicy. Fantastic.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829766843115897356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-83677542171308121762010-01-28T13:46:25.668-06:002010-01-28T13:46:25.668-06:00Putting aside its fundamental truth, that hurt, ma...Putting aside its fundamental truth, that hurt, man.
