Anyone who clicked into this with the intention of typing out the next lyric is a dick.

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

So it's a click-bait insult ?
I think somebody has a case of the Sundays.

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!! ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

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.

Don't forget to turn off the lights

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.
