I tried coconut water tonight

I tried some once because it was touted as "good for you" - I think it was an Asian brand (looked it, anyway!) with bits of something referred to as 'coconut jelly' in it. I love coconut, but this stuff was disgusting!

That's why when there's a Zombie Apocalypse, Americans will die first due to starvation because they can't stomach eating foods that don't include intestines, tendons, and coconut water.

This reminded me of an American friend of mine who's into survival skills and such. He's carefully explained to me how to find and cook the right kind of grubs when one is starving in the wilderness. Maybe, one day, if I actually am starving in the wilderness, I might try it. But not before then!

Also, I now can't help wondering just how @Alluminati knows what the buttocks of a mule taste like... or if I even really WANT to know...

I love coconut-everything-else, but I HATE coconut water. It tastes like funky tropical *kitten*.

I only drank it straight from the tree. Just like fruit, there's variations in the sweetness of the water. When you get a good coconut, it's AMAZING. When you get a watery lame one it tastes like the buttocks of a mule. I've never tried the ones in the can because I imagine they will taste like buttocks.

Yeah, I like it fresh out of the tree too! And, you are right, there are different varieties of coconuts. Some varieties are harvested just for the water. Totally to die for!

Oh geeze. I love coconut water so much I used to just go out to go get some from different stores to try different kinds. The taste varies, maybe you had a bad one.

Well if you're ever stranded on a deserted island in need of a saline drip you can count on coconut water to fill the IV bag. Either way it's super hydrating & one of my hangover go2s
