I've eaten Chestnuts @ Christmas parties; very tasty esp. if roasted/salted; a funny story; my friend and I bought Chestnuts years ago; we lived in a town-house from the 1890's Conn. ; we brought the Chestnuts to the Microwave; put them in; went out to get more packages; when we walked back in the house; "ping-ping-pong"; loud popping sounds: "its the lightbulbs I shouted; must be a shortage"; where's the fuse box I yelled: Pete ran to the fuse box and turned everything down; wait a minute its not the lightbulbs popping; its the roasting Chestnuts popping !!! we really got a kick out of those Chestnuts !!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! : )
