    If those are horse chestnuts they are the wrong ones for roasting, you need the sweet chestnut from Spain.

    DH and I have just done a long walk from our house, and collected and eaten Yorkshire sweet chestnuts :D

    OP, very jealous of you being able to collect walnuts and hazels!

  • Thanks for the tips and link Seakay. I've decided to boil them and trying them mushed up in mash potato!? I'll let you know what it's like.

    Penny - we went for a good forage / walk this afternoon - there are thousands of chestnuts but didn't collect too many as I want to check I like them first (hope so, all that free food) Also found about 7 blackberries, loads of windwall apples and more hazelnuts. We won't starve this week :rotfl:
    Bon App's Scraps!
