Opening a coconut is not a mission impossible, essential for being able to taste a bit of summer is a hammer, a screwdriver and a corkscrew.
Let's see how to do.
To tell if a coconut is good, weigh it in your hand and shake, if it's fresh you'll hear the sound of water inside.
Pierce the eyes on top of the coconut with a sharp object, a corkscrew for example.
If you can't make a hole, try with a screwdriver and a hammer.
Take a glass and pour in the water coming out of the coconut.
To use it as a drink, strain it first.
Hit the coconut hard with a hammer to crack it open, repeat the operation to reduce the shell into smaller pieces.
Use the knife as a lever to separate the meat from the shell. Wash the coconut and taste it. To store it for a few days, cover with its own water and keep in the fridge.
To make shredded coconut or coconut milk, scrape away the thin dark skin with a vegetable peeler.
Grate the meat.
Put in a bowl and cover with boiling water, mix well and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Strain the meat through a cheesecloth to extract the coconut milk, that you can use to flavor cakes, ice creams and exotic dishes.

I used to know a guy from Croy (near Cumbernauld, Scotland) who got his kicks by painting hideous faces on coconuts, lobbing them at trains and buses and then running away!  The young people used to call him 'Coconutman George'!
