About a month ago, I did a pet sitting job for a family that lives in an old farmhouse. On the property were eight or ten chestnut trees and three huge walnut trees.
I picked a ton of them off the ground and was very excited to finally try chestnuts for the first time. I prepped them and roasted them in the oven (per a recipe I found online), and got ready for a yummy treat.
Only, they weren't yummy. They weren't even edible. In fact they were poisonous.
What’s the difference between horse chestnuts and sweet chestnuts?
Dammit!
