Look for a
coconut that shows no
sign of cracks and is free of
mold.
Pick it up and
shake it. Speak to it in a low, reassuring voice. If it does not respond with any
cracks, it has obviously gone flat. Try for one with a
quicker wit. It should be
heavy with water, which, in turn,
ensures a
moist interior - always a good thing!
Always buy an extra coconut or two in case one turns out to be
rancid, or you decide you like its
cute little
Mr. Bill face and can't bring yourself to
swing the cleaver. Then they can form a
rough hairy gang, or everyone can go bowling.
