Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I'm assuming this refers to whatever is inside the coconut but why do they call it meat if a coconut is a fruit. Is there a special way to open a coconut or pineapple? OR will a sharp knife do it for both? I've never purchased a fresh coconut or pineapple only frozen or canned.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Oh! You are in for such a treat! I've never purchased a fresh coconut or pineapple only frozen or canned. Lili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Margie, They look great! Do they sell them here in the US? Vegigran I use a pineapple corer/slicer.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 The white part inside the coconut is the meat Bless, Jeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Sorry - didn't see that you'd answered yourself re the meat my husband uses a machete to open it but that's probably not the best route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I still don't understand why they call it meat. Is that just an expression for what's inside the coconut? Lili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Lilli, As you have had no scholarly response, may I speculate that in those places where the coconut was found by the English speakers, the local reverence and word for the flesh might well have been akin to meat meaning the strong part of the diet. Now we get so much good press about the wonders of young coconut oil that I would not be surprised.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I suspected the word " meat " was being utilized as a visual description rather literally, but wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask to be on the safe side. There is never a dumb question right? Thanks Peter for clearing that up. My ignorance to healthy food is shining through. lol Lili rawfood , " Peter Gardiner " <petergardiner@e...> wrote: > Lilli, > > As you have had no scholarly response, may I speculate that in those > places where the coconut was found by the English speakers, the local > reverence and word for the flesh might well have been akin to meat > meaning the strong part of the diet.

Lili To distinguish it from the 'milk', the liquid inside the meat. And I suppose they call it milk because it looks like milk, but it sure doesn't taste like it:) rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Thank you Rusty, can't wait to see what the coconut milk actually taste like. Lili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
