Have you ever actually done that?

Is it time for roasting chestnuts on the open fire?
roasted them in a frying pan, but not an "open fire" ...



peeling them was risky, since I remember getting "shell-peel" jabbed up uinder my thumbnail a little



and the taste wasn't very ... mmm .... how to put this diplomatically .... wasn't exactly spectacular ... tho if I was maybe a starving prisoner of war, chestnuts might assume an enhanced appeal to the palate.

Reply:Hey....it's almost December....isn't it? Only another hour of November left *here*, at any rate....and I know that a big part of me thinks that the Christmas season begins on December 1st....so....that sounds like a good time to start roasting those chestnuts...don't you agree?



To answer the second part of your question, I have never actually tried it.

lets try that. sounds like fun
Reply:I have. It hurts. Much better to use a grill than to try and try and make a base for a pan.



It doesn't have to be Christmas for that to sound good. It's an awesome treat.

We used to sing the song like this:



Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire

Chet is screaming out in pain...

Reply:I've not done it. You might want to avoid sitting to close to the fire - you might do more than toast your chestnuts!!!
