How many of you here at SP love coconut?

What are some uses you have for it for, and have you ever heard of coconut flour?

A friend of mine at work spoke of coconut rice which I presume is rice cooked in coconut milk:confused:

Need your input on this one....................

LOVE me some coconut, Cathy!

My Coconut Favs are: Almond Joy candy bars, Coconut-Creme Pie, Coconut Layer-Cake, the Canadian Nanaimo Bar (which is kinda like a layered Almond Joy/Fudge Bar-Cookie), deep-fried coconut shrimp and chicken strips... YUM! And I very rarely drink but if I ever do have a sip of something other than a Bud-Light I enjoy Malibou Rum w/ OJ over ice.

I worked in Dutch Harbor, AK as the sous chef at an inn there for about a year. The company that owned the inn also owned fishing vessels and huge land seafood processing plants and at certain times of the year they had hundreds of employees. We were housed in beautiful, first-class dormitory-style buildings with a fantastic galley open 'round the clock for us to eat in. There were many Asians and Polynesians on the galley's kitchen staff (many of the seafood processors were also Asian and Polynesian) and often in the dessert cooler among the jell-o's they had what looked like plated squares of WHITE jell-o, right along side the lime, cherry and lemon jell-o's. It tasted like COCONUT, but no one could ever tell me what it was, or how it was made! It was delicious, though!

I am unfamiliar with coconut flour- sorry!

Yukky - allergic to it....................................

Let's talk about us instead - aren't we all nuts anyway???


LOL

mama- between you and I (strawberry & coconut allergies) we're missing-out on some of the world's dang-finest morsels!

I know I'm a nut, but I honestly thought it was just me:D Mama are you allergic to all nuts or just coconut? You poor thing, I would just be so sad if I could not have coconut.

There is a salad my Aunt makes that is nothing more than:

Mandarin Oranges 2 cans drained
Pineapple Chunks 1 LG. can drained
Flaked Coconut 3/4 cup
1 8 oz. sour cream
1 cup colored mini-marshmallows

Mix all together, let marinate over night and serve. This stuff is so delicious and goes over big with the kids (BIG OR LITTLE) really good!!!!
