My fruit box arrived this morning with two coconuts in it.

How do I get into them, a drill?

What can I do with them?

I need one of those gadgets Indian people have in their kitchen to get the flesh off.

Drill in to drip the milk out.

Then smash it with a hammer. Eat the white bits and make bras with the shells.

"Indian people? Really?!"

Well a lot of the people I knew when I was in Malaysia and India had a special thing that took the flesh off coconuts. You sat one side and kind of shaved the coconut off on a type of blade. Does that answer your question?

If you put a corkscew through one of the eyes (ouch!) you can drain the milk out. Then throw it on concrete to smash it and eat it as a snack. Or you can saw it in half and hang it up for bluetits

These coconuts aren't very big

. I will take the rest of your advice though

Place between your thighs, apply pressure to crack. Any milk that escapes, quickly rub into your skin.

Where in the PC world are you not allowed to make a generalisation? If it’s not offensive?

Take one nail and one hammer. Drive the nail into the 'not a hole yet' at the end. Make holes and let the milk run out into a glass. Tip it down the sink. ( foul stuff )

Take a hack saw. Saw through the middle of each coconut to form four halves.

String them up outside for the birdies.

When they are empty , refill with fat n seed n bread.

Easier option .... open bin lid - drop in - close bin lid.

Slightly less easier option - neighbourhood whatsapp all the neighbours..... Hiiiiiiiii who wants two coconuts ?

Expose the three dots on top of coconut usually under the hairs you’ll see two close together (eyes) one separate one (mouth) that’ll be the softer one that’s the hole you can put something sharp in screwdriver ?? Turn over a cup, drink away to open go round the circumstance with a hammer keep on doing till it cracks open and enjoy

Do not hit with hammer!! Saw it in half and throw away that water, it is rank

Peel the coconut into bite size pieces and give away to anyone who does not have gaps in their teeth.

Now the real thing to do, take both empty halves of shell bang together in time with your feet and run around the house like a horse.

When you have finished doing that, drill 2 holes in each shell and thread a string through to make a bra. Wear the bra with no top on anytime you have guests.

surrounded by twinkly lights

Sharp chisel and a rubber mallet to split it nicely and definitely use the shells with fat balls for the birds

I saw that the other night.

Chefs tend to hit them very hard with the heel of a big knife, but I suspect that would end in a trip to a&e if I did it.

Thank you! Any ideas for easily getting the flesh off the shell?

I watched the clip. Sindhu Vee ( an Indian comedian ) said 'we' always do it this way .....

And BASH it was done.

I might buy a coconut to try. It's a bit far to go to get one though........ on a Weds.

If you have a rolling pin use that to crack the shell if not just use the floor if it's concrete to crack the shell and just pick away. Be sure to have a bowl ready to catch the milk

Have a look at Sunday`s Diwali version of Celebration Kitchen on the BBC, the Scots Indian chef whose name eludes me was working with coconut, and one of the guests mentioned the gadget you allude to - apparently available in a couple of places, personally Id drain the milk out to use in cooking or with some rum in it, and either smash the hell put of it or saw it in half...

I guess you could buy one in a specialist shop. I'm not getting one just for two coconuts though

. I'm not a huge fan of rum but vodka might make an acceptable alternative don't you think?
