In my opinion, the only way to eat a chestnut is immediately after pulling it out of the spiky husk. I cut them in half and peel each half and pop into my mouth raw. I tried them roasted one time and couldn't stand the taste. My husband has only ever had them roasted and really dislikes them raw! I'm lucky to have a chestnut (Chinese) tree in my yard!
