Diogenes Jun 2021 7:16am, 15 Jun 2021 60,557 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes We used to call it dedicated coconut. I do like it in curries and shampoo but don’t eat it much otherwise. I do like a Bounty bar every now and then. When I was a kid I used to call them Paradise bars (Bounty, the taste of paradise.)

Although I expect it's good for exfoliating dry skin. Many shampoos smell good. Pretty well universally they taste foul! Anyone else remember Vesta packet curries? Pouches of dehydrated crumbly "stuff", which always seemed a bit "rough" even when cooked. Now there's a thing I'd forgotten. (Thankfully!) But they sometimes came with a little packet of very dried coconut, which didn't help the curry in any way.
