Have you ever actually done that?

roasted them in a frying pan, but not an "open fire" ...
peeling them was risky, since I remember getting "shell-peel" jabbed up uinder my thumbnail a little
and the taste wasn't very ... mmm .... how to put this diplomatically .... wasn't exactly spectacular ... tho if I was maybe a starving prisoner of war, chestnuts might assume an enhanced appeal to the palate.

If I had chestnuts I wouldn't want them roasted. :-) But, they do make baskets to roast chestnuts in the fireplace or any other fire source. I think they usually do that in the east since that is where they grow. Out here on the west coast we don't see them much. I used to see them in the supermarket but I guess they didn't sell very well here so they stopped carrying them.

Hey....it's almost December....isn't it? Only another hour of November left *here*, at any rate....and I know that a big part of me thinks that the Christmas season begins on December 1st....so....that sounds like a good time to start roasting those chestnuts...don't you agree?
To answer the second part of your question, I have never actually tried it.

I have never done it. I don't even think I've ever eaten a chesnut.
We used to sing the song like this:
Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire
Chet is screaming out in pain...

Never! I have had roasted chestnuts and didn't think they were all that great. Bring on the cashews!

I've not done it. You might want to avoid sitting to close to the fire - you might do more than toast your chestnuts!!!

I did that when I lived in New York, but here in Houston, It`s hard to get into the cold weather things.

I have. It hurts. Much better to use a grill than to try and try and make a base for a pan.
It doesn't have to be Christmas for that to sound good. It's an awesome treat.
