All this chestnut talk got me hungry, so I roasted the chestnuts left 
over from Thanksgiving tonight and they were yummy.  When I was a 
kid, you could buy chestnuts from street venders (in New York City).  
I wonder if the NY venders still sell them.  If so they are probably 
about $10 each; the chestnuts I bought for Thanksgiving were 
something like $8/pound.  Anyone know why they are so expensive?

I have never heard of a chestnut sauce that you put on ice cream, 
though.  What is it?

And now to relate this back to HP, um, er, I know....Are there any 
chestnut references in the HP books?  I dont remember any.
