Try getting the bigger ones and slice off the inner skin with a sharp knife.Uncle Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612736094303055749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984217362893991380.post-27609934061627667352010-06-13T08:36:10.031+10:002010-06-13T08:36:10.031+10:00Hi bebi.j,

Yes, nothing can beat the good old fashion way of buying and enjoying freshly roasted chestnuts by the street hawker in the winter months in Asia.Uncle Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612736094303055749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984217362893991380.post-65132951244507330802010-06-13T00:00:04.658+10:002010-06-13T00:00:04.658+10:00i have given up with these fresh chestnuts. they ...i have given up with these fresh chestnuts. they are usually quite dry when they are on the store's shelf so they have to be soaked before roasting.

Oh these chestnuts ...Oh you've changed layout! Oh these chestnuts sure do bring back good memories! When I went back to hong kong last year to accompany my sister for her wedding banquet I remember by the train stations there will sure be hawkers selling freshly roasted chestnuts!! I made sure every time we pass by we buy a big bag of them! It was so good to sit down as a family and peel them together! It's a shame we can't find those hawkers here.. But I guess that's why it makes it extra special when we can roast our own.. Did you know they sell them peeled and 'roasted' as snacks in Asian grocery stores? It's a good snack but it sure can't beat the freshly roasted ones. :DCara.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009356848589558326noreply@blogger.com
