It's funny what you said about coconut - the texture and not liking it. I've never liked coconut for that same exact reason. It's one of very few things that I just won't eat. However, when I went to the Dominican Republic a few years ago, they grabbed some fresh coconuts off of a tree for my wife and me, chopped it open with a machete, and we drank it. The water was pretty good, but I still didn't eat any of it. We were runnin' and gunnin' with the video cameras, so sticky fingers don't work too well with that.
