sam henri goldmy local grocery store just started selling chestnuts. i was amused by this because i never thought of them as a real item you could buy, merely symbols of christmas that exist in song. so i bought one (1) chestnut for a quarter and now its in my toaster oven.
Eugen Rochko@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io Wait, you've never seen them on the ground?
mossman@Gargron@mastodon.social @samhenrigold@hachyderm.io careful though - in the UK those are usually horsechestnuts, which AFAIK are not edible.
Elias Mårtenson@Gargron@mastodon.social @samhenrigold@hachyderm.io I grew up in Sweden, where the edible ones don't grow naturally, so I never saw one until I was adult, probably somewhere in France.
Sweden does have the inedible ones though, which are not edible and very hard. Useful as something you throw when you play as a kid. 🙂
