CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE

OK, is this activity a fond, familiar part of everyone's Christmas memories?

How many of you actually roast chestnuts as part of your holiday celebration?

Has anyone EVER done it? In the last hundred years, anyway?

Yes, we roasted a few chestnuts in our fireplace for several years, but to tell the truth, they are better purchased in a small paper bag from a street vendor.

My mom-in-law roasted some on her stovetop, but I bet they're better over an open fire - isn't anything? I don't think they tasted amazing enough to try roasting myself.

I'd much rather roast marshmallows or meat, if we're talking about open fires.
