No. A conker is a Horse Chestnut, and not edible.
Chestnuts are the ones they roast at Christmas.

A conker is the same as a horse chestnut, rather than the eating chest nuts. I saw one other answer saying you couldn't eat conkers. Actually you can eat them but they are so bitter you wouldn't really want to.

I do not know but I think chestnuts are small breasts on a woman (like Mrs Everet two doors down from us) while a conker is poor spelling for William the Conker.
Well thats my attempt at improvisation in face of acute ignorance on the matter.

No a conker is a horse chestnut and not good to eat though I have seen squirrels eat them.The sweet chestnut is the one to roast and eat and comes from a different tree.

No because conkers grow on oak trees and chestnuts grow on chestnut trees!

no they are horse chestnuts and they are not edible and in fact poisonous, you need chestnuts fromthe European Chestnut tree to eat, to distinguish the difference horse chestnuts (conkers) are basically round where as the edible chestnuts have a definate point to their shape

no conkers come from the horse chestnut tree and you really shouldn't eat them, whereas chestnuts come from sweet chestnut trees.
