I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

[LancashireLass]

Hiya I have a coconut here and was just wondering how I can get inside it and get the juice out too?

I'm sure Lakeland must do a wonderful coconut opener !!
Where are all our Lakeland experts !!

drill a hole in it. with a clean drillbit

or use a corkscrew?

kncok a hole through using a screwdriver and a hammer, or drop it onto some concrete. Both work

Oh please do be careful (I sound like my mother)! I'd be tempted to use a chisel technique myself ensuring that all parts of my anatomy are out of the way !

make a small hole in it with a screw driver or a electric drill then drain the milk out then smash the rest with a hammer!

Lo, are you serious with the screwdrivers or just having me on?

dunno about the others but thats how i do it

We use hammer & large nail - 2 holes req'd to let air out. Then smash it with a hammer to eat!

headbutt it

yeh but you are hard fio, some of us are laydees

no idea sorry

Lol, and can the holes be hammered anywhere or does the coconut have particular softspots like a babies head?

michelle - do u work at lakeland?

the three spots on top of the cocnut!

Thanks Lou....is it tasty?

lol, depends if you like coconut or not

lol, of course. I dont know why but this coconut has highly humoured me!

Get a nive clean, big nail and hammer it in , twice, through the black marks on the top

personally i just drop mine onto the patio outside

It has black marks on?

All the coconute I have seen have blackish, slightly indented marks on one end

unless of course you have a big green fresh one, in which case chop the top off, bung a straw in and drink the milk
