The production of coconut played an important role in our national economy. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, we produced more than 19.500 coconuts per annum. This makes the Philippines as the world's largest producer of coconut. Aside from coconut oil, we also have a lot of delicious foods made of coconut like coco jam, Buko pie, Buko salad, foods with coconut milk, and a lot more. Any thoughts?

Yes, I like foods made of coconut. I also like young coconut smoothies. Mmmmm! And dishes with coconut milk and red chili pepper are also delicious.

I do like coconut. I use coconut milk quite often. But it comes in a can

Really? Well it's more delicious when it's fresh, direct from the tree.

We also use coconut (milk) in making our delicious delicacies like bibingka, ginataang bilo-bilo, and other kakanin that I love to eat.

I've never tried any of the things you mention, but I like plain coconut.

I don't eat coconut (except for the occasional coconut cake that I make) but I love coconut scented things!

Not too often, but I do. There was a moment in my life where I was eating coconut pie that tasted stale. It was pretty bad. Still love coconut though
