Yes, I've heard and sang the song but I have no clue what they taste like. I became even more curious when I saw a gentleman eat a chestnut on tv. They look delicious. I do like nuts in general. Can someone fill me in?

raw, they have a slightly sweet, clean, almost earthy taste... a little like a water chestnut and a very mild fresh mushroom, blended.
the smell of roasted turkey filled our camp office, when we roasted them in the toaster oven.
later, i roasted some over a fire in a campfire popcorn popper, and when warm, they tasted to everyone who tried them (about 12-15 of us) like turkey or ham.
a couple days later, cooled, not such a strong meat flavor... more just a roasted nut.
the consistency throughout, is like somewhere between a cashew and a macadamia nut, i find.

Tastes like something in between corn, purple sweet potato and roasted soybeans to me.

It is very hard to describe the taste but it is good and sort of like nothing else I have ever had. Give it a try.

I think they taste like a pork roast.

My first impression? Like big moist chick peas or garbanzo beans but a little sweeter/firmer.

I'm not a big fan. The ones I've had were a little soft and almost pasty.
