I saw someone in here months ago saying they eat them
and I FELL madly in love with them too, so if I could have
these Id be happy!

"samich" lettuce?

For soft, loose, or soggy fillings (such as egg salad, bits of chicken, or
tuna fish), I use green-leaf lettuce and roll it up, or romaine and sort of
fold it along the spine like a soft taco. For deli meats and cheese, I use
outer leaves of iceberg (a couple of layers, top and bottom).

Lettuce, sure. Something flexible for wrapping.

Is that just the 'meat'?

I dunno. That info, I believe, came from Food composition Table
for Use in East Asia:

It may be referring to spoon coconuts.

COCONUTS BENEFITS
by Jeremy Safron

a.. The coconut is one of the greatest gifts of this planet.
b.. Coconuts are a prehistoric plant which can survive many months
floating at sea.
c.. The coconut is a natural water filter that takes almost 9 months to
filter each liter of water. The water travels through many fibers being
purified where it is stored away STERILE in the nut itself.
d.. This coconut water is pure clear and is one of the highest sources of
electrolytes known to man.
e.. Coconut water is identical to human blood plasma which makes it the
universal donor. Plasma makes up 55% of human blood. By drinking coconuts we
give ourselves a instant blood transfusion.
f.. Many peoples lives have been saved in 3rd world countries by the
coconut IV.
g.. Coconuts in their young stage of growth are the most health enhancing.
h.. Drink at least one a day (I drink 5 or 6).
i.. Coconuts are a great blood purifier.
Other comments on Young Coconuts:

"It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic
balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak." In
fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict
regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give
emergency plasma trasfusions to wounded soldiers.

Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas -
once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and
nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment
