#1 Well we did every winter in NY
Nick an x in the flat side and pop them in the oven.
Delicious
There are chestnut blight resistant strains of the American chestnut coming along too.

#4 We had one in our backyard, the smell when they bloom would turn anyone off to their “fruit”

#5 Nothing like a German Weihnachtsmarket with some roasted chestnuts and some Glühwein...and maybe some Lebkuchen.

#6 If land ever comes out of the stratosphere and I can find some, one thing I want to do is see if I can help with the chestnut recovery efforts.

And plant paw-paws, not because they're endangered, but because I want to be able to say "down yonder in the paw-paw patch".

#8 I know a trans vendor whose cry is
So sad that I buy his papayas:
"For what more could one wish
Than this womanish dish?"
Though he sings it too low,
Blue and mournful and slow,
Like he don't even know where the sky is.

#11 ^ Hey, I'm not judging! Also...

A skeptical Cree de Paris,
Who wouldn't believe -- too PC! --
Stood, unread and solid,
For nothing invalid,
All day at his tabac, for free.
