Ugh, I'm so over how everyone just assumes chestnuts are only for roasting by a fireplace 
. Like, no, they're way more than that! I actually visited Umbria last month and saw how they harvest them in this super modern way... who knew? They use these giant fans to clean the nuts and then sell them to bigger producers. And, honestly, roasting them over an open flame is actually pretty cool 
. But, I mean, we've all had those ready-cooked chestnuts before, right? They're so much better when you get to eat them straight from the shell, with that smoky flavor... it's a whole different experience 
. And don't even get me started on how versatile they are - I mean, have you seen some of these recipes for cakes and soups and stuff? It's like we're missing out on so much!
