Shaking Coconuts

[chantaal]

I do. Then I can tell if they are full or not. I personally prefer the cooked mature coconuts, I like the flavor because I think they are sweeter, and have thicker meat. I like to have them for dessert, blended with Droste cocoa powder, some vanilla, and stevia.

Tonight I went to purchase some from the place on the street where I buy from, because they are small and very sweet. The lady always seems to be unhappy to sell them to me. Tonight I was selecting some-- shaking to see if they felt heavy, and the lady yelled (she wasn't standing right next to me, and it Is a noisy street) "No shake! You shake, you buy!"

So I tossed the two I had cradled in my arm back with the others and walked away.

I can get them from Tesco or Tops or Foodland, etc., and not get yelled at for choosing.

Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Maybe she was upset because you were not shacking HER COCONUTS as the wife joking calls them:whistling:

Wow, all the Thai people I know shake the coconuts to see if they are ripe. But if they are drinking coconuts then maybe she is afraid the soft coconut flesh will be damaged? but no, I never heard of anyone objecting before. Maybe she thought you were just playing and had no plans to buy?

Shake your nuts if you feel the need.
