    Good question, I think they are imported from France usually, but this is based purely upon trying to purchase 'sweetened chestnut paste' over here. This stuff, in case it's any use to you: http://www.porterfoods.co.uk/porter/site/category.acds?instanceid=293715&context=294706 so perhaps it might be better enquring with your local 'Fruit and Veg shop' or 'Health Food Shop'.

    Or perhaps someone on this site is resident in france and could send you some over? Or perhaps get a copy of 'the sun' for one of those '£10 to france' deals? Take a wheelbarrow, and bring a load back ;):D

    Edit: Oops, forgot to include this link: http://www.clementfaugier.fr/fr/v4/v4_accueil.aspx if you speak french, perhaps they might send you some.

    HTH
    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.
