Gosh, have the Christmas Carols of my youth become that passé? 

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, 
Jack Frost nipping on your nose, 
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, 
And folks dressed up like Eskimos...."

Made famous here in the USA in the 50's by Nat King Cole...

Yep...most likely imported from Italy...they are
sweet.  Every now and again my mother cons me into
making chestnut flour for her...makes marvelous
pastry.

Many cultures use chestnuts for food....I bought a pound
of Korean chestnuts last year...they were gigantic compared
to the Italian ones.
