Grating coconut Jamaican style.


I almost forgot about this one. I have a grater in my house and was asked to grater some coconuts last night. Cut my fingers a bit,but it help me realize that this is a tradition that is slowly disappearing, especially as more and more technology is introduced.

Do you have any stories about "gratering" your finger when doing the coconuts? Please share. If it was interesting to you, it will be interesting to someone else. Join the conversation.
