Dried coconut isn't even close, and every canned coconut milk I've tried was incredibly nasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1969937 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:45:01 +0000 littlebug 1969937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it completely depends on the recipe. I love the flavor of coconut, but don't typically like the texture in foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1969921 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:37:09 +0000 sarac 1969921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: Not really a recipe - I just take any good oatmeal chocolate chip recipe, and sub a half cup of coconut for some of the oatmeal. You could go really nuts and make it a cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1969752 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:29:26 +0000 Anya 1969752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could take it or leave it, but I definitely wouldn't be upset about getting some coconut treats from someone making holiday goodies. I lot of people do love it, so I wouldn't have any trouble finding someone to share it with. Maybe make one coconut item and one non-coconut? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1969744 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:22:18 +0000 aderyn 1969744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! DH hates it. DH's best friend hates it. My mom doesn't mind it, but I'm really the only one in my family who really loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1969739 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:19:57 +0000 Pancakes 1969739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: that sounds amazing!

I'm working on a coconut project right now and I've been surprised how many haters there are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1968544 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:51:34 +0000 sarac 1968544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ADORE coconut, I had no idea people disliked it so! I make a crazy good coconut oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1968543 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:49:17 +0000 farawayyama 1968543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fresh coconut, coconut jellies or coconut milk or cream in recipes = yum</p> <p>Dessicated coconut = the worst thing in existance.

Awful, awful texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1968287 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 18:58:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1968287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: see now cilantro is the bomb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1968282 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 18:53:40 +0000 Pancakes 1968282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I'll save the coconut lime snowballs and granola with unsweetened coconut flakes for myself! I had a feeling it was polarizing but I didn't know so many people feel about coconut the way I do about cilantro :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1968249 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 18:25:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1968249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate coconut.

I can't eat coconut! I dislike the taste and the texture is enough to make my skin stand on end. If there was a chocolate cake, with peanut butter marbled though, and Nutella on top (three of my favourite foods) but it had a hint of coconut sprinkled throughout, I would not be able to eat it. I dislike it that much.</p> <p>* I'm trying to eliminate the word 'hate' from my vocabulary, otherwise it would have been used numerous times in the above statement. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-yay-or-nay#post-1968144 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 17:19:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1968144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut is gross.

Like, not the dessicated type in the baking aisle? I don't like the dried coconut, either. But fresh is much better (or sometimes I can find it frozen). </p>
