Who knows?

Sweet chestnust husks?

Have no idea, Kasia.:)

Looks right Waddy

yes i agree waddy

Yes, I reckon the squirrels have had them!!

well done - it is what's left of sweet chestnuts:)

I wonder if anyone still gathers chestnuts. There is a large tree in the fields below and the squirrels are usually busy this time of year gathering the chestnuts.

I love roasted chestnuts in the winter Lindak.our local pub have a Christmas party each year and we are greeted with chestnuts straight out of the fire and a glass of mulled wine!Very Christmassy !

that sounds really good Paul. I can remember the chestnut sellers in London in the 50's when I lived there as a child.

Yes, too many other snack foods to compete now!!!

You're right there Paul. I wonder how many people could go foraging and know when to harvest and what to harvest and how to cook it too. WHen we had our smallholding mushrooms grew in the field and blue fungi grew on old wood. We had elderflowers and berries and blackberries. We had a very large veg plot too.
