These chestnut hulls on the ground near the woods where Callie likes to walk reminded me of sea urchins. Apparently people eat sea urchins, but I've never tasted one. When I see them being opened and eaten on television, they don't look all that appetizing, and there's not much to eat in one urchin. Perhaps they're an "acquired taste." I wouldn't be against trying (after all, I eat snails and gizzards), but I'm not rushing out to get some.
Chestnuts are edible, but it's easier to buy them in cans and jars, shelled and cooked, ready to use.
Enjoy your New Year's Eve! It's unlikely that we'll make it to midnight, so we'll be having our New Year's Eve oysters at lunchtime, as usual. Tomorrow we have black-eyed peas on the menu. Yum!
bonne annee to you and ken and callie and bert!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, glad you're having black eyed peas!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and Ken and Callie! From Lynn, Joel, Hannah, Rachel and our dog Patti.

ReplyDeleteSea urchin shells, dried, make pretty decorative items. Can't say I feel the same about chestnuts. But I like your picture of them.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year. Fingers crossed that it's a good one.
Never heard of wood urchin. Now I need to google that. I do like Chestnuts.
