Coconut

On our way back from the post office we stopped at a place to try a 'green' coconut

The guy hacked off the top of a coconut that was in a cooler and put a straw in and handed it to me.  The husk was green and softer - not dry and brown yet.   I looked at him and he said I needed to drink the coconut water -- or he could put it in a cup but it would cost extra.   So Jim and I both drank some and it tasted just fine.

Then we handed it back to him and he took a spoon and scooped the coconut meat away from the sides and handed it back with a plastic fork.  

It was soft and tasted alright but I think we both prefer the coconut the way we are accustomed to.  It was soft and very moist.   It was a new experience for us.
