Does anyone like chestnuts?

[WriterDom]

I hate those fucking trees. They produce baseball sized sand spurs. But I just read that the demand outweighs supply and the nuts retail for 5 dollars a pound. I'll be picking them in the fall, that's for sure.

If you have a nut on a wall what do you have? A Walnut

If you have a nut on pea what do you have? A Peanut

If you have a nut on a chest what do you have? A dick in your mouth.

On that $5/lb., is that after the 'sandspur' parts are removed, or after all of the shell is removed, e.g., just the nutmeat?

Oh hell yeah. Those things were created by Satan himself. The good thing is that the nuts aren't very hard to get out. Many will just fall out. I tried roasting them and still didn't like them. And found out that they can explode on you if you don't poke a hole in the shell.

Alone, no.

In stuffing with sausage and sage, you bet your bippy.

Can you buy them there? Can't here. In fact, these are the only chestnut trees I've ever seen.

Yes, you can, but only around the holidays. You can also get them canned, in water, from Italy. Do yours have little widely spaced spikes or are they needle-like spines, like little porcupines?

If it's 5 bucks a pound just for meat, I found out how to do this the painless way.

Score with an X.

Put in a brown paper bag with a little oil. Shake. Aha, this is the part most people don't do.

Roast in a covered, moving pan for about 15 min. Be sure there's a little bit of water in the pan. Again, this is the difference between hating your life and chestnuts that pop right out.

They are very spiny. You can open them up with your feet. Picking anything is hard word. I gave the trees some miracle spikes today along the drip line. I don't think they have ever been feed before.

They are starting to fall. Some one is charging 5 dollars on ebay for a pound with 5.50 shipping. I think I can beat that.
