    If you're looking for fresh, I'd have said they're out of season.

    Definitely not out of season, I'm travelling through Spain and Portugal at the moment and the shops there are full of them. Plenty of stalls selling roast chestnuts on the streets too.

    I don't know where my brain is today.

    Of course they're in season.
