G-Man Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 We prefer to use the whole coconut. Mainly for the texture. "We"? Ed, Flora, Charlie, ?,?,?,?,?. Who else loves a rub with this hirsute fruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 "We"? Ed, Flora, Charlie, ?,?,?,?,?. Who else loves a rub with this hirsute fruit? If the great Mrs S is anything to go by, I'll be buying a tree of the feckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Someone's messing about with it then Paul. I don't want to cast aspersions on your good lady but is there a possibility someone else is partaking of the back door entrance and slipping a moisturising coconut scented Mickey Flynn into the aforementioned oil?

hairy de janairy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 And never cook olive oil. It's great as a dressing or for dipping bread into but can cause inflammation of the heart when cooked. where did you read this ? most top chefs cook with olive oil..as do i as for coconut oil i have tried cooking with this but everything tastes of coconuts!! which can be expected but see some comments here it is tastelless and no smell eh excuse me but it reeks of coconuts too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 There are lots of makes of coconut oil, some are quite coconutty, others are tasteless. The KTC brand is tasteless/odourless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 No chance, i check her phone regularly when she is sleeping along with her email and internet history and Mrs S is a loyal one. She would get a swift boot in the James Hunt if i suspected for a minute anything like that was going on. Maybe you have just bought cheap stuff mate but i can assure you it has a scent of coconut. I seriously have no idea what tweenage or pwned means sorry Johnnie. Alex Neil - covert operator...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few different ways of processing coconuts to get the oil. Virgin coconut oil tastes of coconut. Refined or distilled coconut oil doesn't.

G-Man Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 As Orraloon says, refined coconut oil will be tasteless and odourless but not quite as healthy as unrefined. I use extra virgin coconut oil for moisturising and as a hair conditioner and also cook with it as the good stuff has such a mild flavour I can't really taste it. I also always buy it in glass jars. Paul and Mrs S may get a bit of a beemur buying virgin oil for their bedroom frolics but as long as neither of them shout "is this the one that makes my boaby smell tasty?" then I think they may get away with it.

The jar I keep in kitchen is slightly softer as its warmer in there but jar in bedroom cupboard is solid and I dig it out with a spatula.

I prefer the solid type as found the liquid too greasy on my skin. It's may be better for cooking but I'm used to glass jars now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best nights of my life ended with me lying in a back garden in Maryhill looking at the stars whilst occassionally raising my head ever so slightly and leaning over a wee bit to vomit up some of the sweet martini I'd just tanned. It was my best pals 16th birthday, still can't stand martini but still enjoy lying on the ground/grass/pitches/ looking at the stars.

Orraloon Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Away with your nonsense, Oh wait a minute just realised I'm fat and solid. I stand corrected. I am just trying to educate you here. Read on and you might learn something new. Chemically speaking, the difference between a fat and an oil comes down to it's melting point. If it is a liquid at Standard Temperature and Pressure it is an oil. If it's a solid it's a fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 This Mr Paul...he reminds me of andreimack. I seem to be on the same wavelength as a couple of you tonight. I am just trying to educate you here. Read on and you might learn something new. Chemically speaking, the difference between a fat and an oil comes down to it's melting point. If it is a liquid at Standard Temperature and Pressure it is an oil. If it's a solid it's a fat. i wasn't being self deprecating, I was actually agreeing with you. I'm rock solid, I think it's the cold water as I'm more wobbly in the summer. I don't defrost properly between swims in wintertime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Must have been Malibu rather than martini for this thread. Between Graeme's book and memories being reawakened I'm having a good laugh tonight. I woke up lying on a flight of stairs after a bottle of Malibu, I was lying with feet at top and head on lower steps though and I swear it took hours for the blood to move down from my face. When I chapped my pals door she screamed as my face was almost purple and pretty swollen and I had wee punctures in it from bits of gravel that my face was mashed against. If only I'd known Paul, I could have borrowed some coconut oil to soothe my skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
