    I was curious to see who was offended.

    I wanted to see whose nuts were on show.

    Had roast chestnuts once. Tasted like soap, with the texture of vaguely slimy cold mashed potatoes. With a sprinkling of grit, that I presume was bits of shell.

    If you've ever had eggnog, you'll know that chestnuts aren't as bad as it can get.

    Yeeuch :(

    did the chestnuts consent to be roasted?

    and where did the name chestnut come from? it sounds like it's men trying to own women's breasts

    Jack Frost is a bully.

    He's actually a white supremacist

    So it's a click-bait insult ?

    My husband just had a work trip in Switzerland, one evening he said they were selling roasted chestnuts at a market stall, he said they smelled really good and enticing, unfortunately like your experience the taste was a total let down!! 😂😂

    That's the truth. They smell delicious and taste vile. Never a tradition in Ireland, thank goodness.

    The name comes from a word in an ancient language of Asia Minor meaning reddish brown.

    I'd always suspected but it's nice to finally know for sure.

    If you don't stab chestnuts before cooking you'll be transported back to the trenches of world war one* with shrapnel and explosions everywhere.



    *slight exaggeration.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Mother tried chestnut stuffing in the turkey one Christmas

    Rank

    Destroyed the turkey

    All ended up just eating the ham

    Listening to the BBC today made me want to try chestnuts.
