Chestnut Festival
Just a quick throwaway post this one! I’m feeling guilty because I’ve been concentrating on cows, goats and sheeps (which incidentally is a newly accepted spelling for the plural of sheep. Lambs were apparently getting confused how they all became one sheep when they grew up).
Consequently, I forgot to mention the Chestnut Party down in Valposchiavo, Graubunden. Unforgivable, I know. Hopefully I’ll remember next year.

I’ve always wanted to sample roasted chestnuts, but they just aren’t available in my part of the world.
Are they any good?
I can’t believe that! Although to be honest I don’t remember having had them in the UK either…
There’s a street stall in my local town that has been open every winter since I’ve been here, and it’s still run by the same guy. He has hands of asbestos I think.
As to whether they are any good, I really like the first one each year, but eating through a bag of them is tricky. Trying them is an absolute must though, and the smell makes shopping in November worthwhile!
