Do You Remember?

Do you remember cracking coconuts open when you were a kid? I do. We used to drink the coconut juice right out of the coconut itself. I would love some fresh coconut these days.

I remember I immediately peeled it off with my teeth, but now I'm afraid my teeth will fall out if I bite something hard.

I did not know coconut juice when I has a child. There were no coconuts around and they only sold it grated (the white part) to use for cookies. I had to grow up a lot to learn about coconunts and specially about piƱa coladas.

My Mother always bought a coconut and cut the pieces really small for us to eat. I never see them in the store to buy. I have bought a whole pineapple before and tha is really cut when you cut it up.

We did this and also got sugarcane. We'd use butter knives to get the coconut out.

You can see why I drove my mum bonkers. I didn't like coconut, except wrapped in chocolate!

I still do it. I can buy the coconut milk in cans or packets but l am trying to use less and less processed stuff. Added to that we have quite a number of coconut trees on the property. The only difference with now and back then is that l don't necessarily have to grate the coconut to extract the milk, instead l can use a blender.
