I checked the Sin bin and you were not there. I tried 'Badedas' years ago, long before there was anyone to test it on! :roll: Mouldy chestnuts.... I have given up Brazil nuts because every batch I bought was musty. I wonder if the worldwide rainfall has anything to do with it?

My comment from yesterday wasn't published.... :-( Don't forget that conkers are horse chestnuts as opposed to sweet chestnuts. Apparently the Vikings used them (horse chestnuts in their baths. The modern version is Badedas...after which things were supposed to happen. Never did for me there must have been some ingredient missing. The other day I bought some chestnuts from the local Turkish supermarket. Not a few were mouldy so I guess we're coming to the end of the season. Mmm!

Rhyleysgranny - leave hubby a portion without chestnuts, and then continue to the end of the recipe for yourself! Baino - Enjoy the hunt for the chestnuts. Nancy - I have an open fire right in my living room! It is all cleaned out and ready to light a fire and roast chestnuts and toast crumpets! What day will you be here? WWW - Count me out for conkers as I was never any good. Helen - I am sure you would get them at a Christmas fair or farmer's market at this time of year. Gaelikaa - No better man!

Would you happen to have an open fire near your place that you could use? I think it's back to the drawing board on this one. SORRY! Grannymar,

Not sure where I'd buy chestnuts down here though! I'm sure you can buy them but they're not readily available. Wow that sounds awesome. Not sure where I’d buy chestnuts down here though!

Do you know I have no idea what chestnuts taste like? Hubby was very sick many years ago after eating some (nothing to do with the accompanying drink ;) ) and I am not allowed them in the house. lol Oh that does sound nice.
