    Yeah I noticed that too! I only saw a chap roasting them for sale in Central London a couple of weeks ago, and I'm out and about every day. In past years I'd have seen one or two per day.

    Seen no chestnuts in shops either...:confused:

    I have a fridge full. I think that they ripened early this year due to the mild weather.
    Everytime my hubby went dogwalking he brought me a bag full back.
    There is only so many things you can do with chestnuts, getting fed up with them now!
    Although they were free!:D

    I saw a beautiful big pile of them in the christmas market in newcastle

    i really wanted to get them cos I love them. Trouble is they were £3 for just 1/2 a kilo. And it's only my mum and me that eat them so I had to walk away and leave them.

    Kind of wishing now I hadn't. Haven't had them for years. Last time I mustn't have pierced them all properly cos there were one or two explosions in the oven. :o

    Never had the problem on the coal fire, can't bring myself to try them in the gas fire, even if it is a living flame type:rotfl:

    I bought some this week in Morrisons. On a similar note, I am having trouble finding Brazil nuts in their shell. Can anyone help? Sorry to Mr Proctalgia for hi jacking your thread.
