Only through the power of the internet can we 'get to know' each other like this without knowing each other! haha<br />If you try the fresh chestnuts, you might just want to cook it (I boil for ease but roasting is obviously popular) and eat it whole like that! I would totally recommend the chestnut soup but I don't know if you want to go to the trouble of removing the skins and all when you can just buy them prepped (I use jarred for that).
