How do you open a coconut?
I would generally say that you should grab a hammer and go at it, but this guy has a different method. O.o
Apparently Old Mr. T up there uses just his teeth, though, and can shuck 500 coconuts in 6 hours (his record is 8 seconds for a single coconut). Why on earth he would want to do that, I don’t know, but it is pretty impressive that the 64 year old’s teeth are still holding up to the torture.
He’s peeled over 100,000 coconuts this way. Either he REALLY loves coconuts….or he really, really hates them and this is his way of taking his anger out on them.
How to kill and cook lizards and iguanas
I really wanted to show you a picture of the cooked iguana legs from Serious Eats, but I know some of you are a little squeamish. And if food bloggers every where preach to not even post bones, I’m pretty sure it’d be frowned upon if I post dissected iguanas, too.
But they look so cool!
There is a video at that link, too, so you can see how they hunt them and cook them. Pretty interesting. I imagine they’re going to taste much like frog legs, too, although probably a bit chewier since they are smaller.
In other news, while I was trying to hunt down a cute picture of some reptile for you, I stumbled across an item from a couple years ago. Apparently they discovered a new species of lizard….at a Vietnamese buffet!
A reptile scientist was intrigued by the fact that all of the lizards seemed to be females. I suppose only a reptile scientist would be taking note of the gender of their food, ha. Turns out, it’s some rare species that can reproduce by cloning itself. Maybe I should pay more attention to what I’m eating?
