Your thinking of "Sweet Chestnut"

Horse Chestnut is only a recent "Food"

........due to the "Natural Health Industry", promoting it.




(They probably noticed the haemorrhoids thing )


But dont menton this.....Jonno's obviously sensitive to it

In the uk, we have a good variaty of nut's.

To which we cant buy though, i think thats strange, perhaps i should open shop on the tube LoL

Walnuts, cobb nut's Chestnuts, Hazel nuts, are grown naturally in the uk, but you go out there and see if you can buy them, it's strange, us brittish seem to like foriegn nut's.
I don't want to start a nut war

Adding a picture of a fuzzy pouch containing pairs of nuts didn&#39;t help Baz.

I only mentioned what Horse Chestnuts were used for....

[lynx]

Before anyone gets carried away (literally):

"Conkers, unlike the seeds of the sweet chestnut, are not easily edible, as they contain poisonous saponins, along with aescin, which can cause vomiting and paralysis. They can be rendered safe by crushing and leaching with water, or by slow cooking, but the remaining food is largely starch.

Experiments in England during the First World War showed that conkers which have been crushed, leached with water, and boiled can be used as fodder for cattle and sheep, though pigs will not eat them.

Fluid extracts of the fruit and bark of the plant, and sometimes of its leaf and root, are used in herbal medicine."

Someone would be REALLY REALLY REALLY pi&#036;&#036;ed off if they ate them.

OK....

Lynx, Jonno mentioned he was eating chestnuts....it was me that changed the subject to "Horse Chestnuts", as a joke....conker season is here

There are a few different types and i took advantage of him not specifying....

Some verieties are very tasty.... Sweet Chestnut and Water Chestnut are certainly

Im sure these are the ones he was eating
