Pineapple and fresh coconut are both wonderful. My dad used to avoid the hassle and used his power tools to open the hard shells. First the drill through the 3 eyes to drain the “milk” (yummy – my brothers and I fought over it) and then the table saw to cut the shell in half. For pineapple all you need is a corer. Cut off the top and bottom of the fruit, then run the corer right down the middle and you have a perfect tube of edible pineapple ready for slicing.

Most people don’t even understand the “hassle” because they never prepare them, but just open a can or bag.

JanCinLVI take it that no one kid got very much. Ripe coconut “milk” is a laxative. Green is potable, in fact, is “fresh water” on many a coral atoll.
