lucky sod. been looking out for them for years and not found one tree, cost silly money to buy them too, imported from italy etc
have fun eating them, and if your stuck try jamie olivers idea, when there warm drop them in a jar of brandy and preserve them that way.

cut a small X in the top each one or they will explode when you toast them, bunge em in a hot dry pan for ten minutes or so flipping them now and then then peel them and eat or add to soups or use like spuds to make mash!

microwave the chestnuts for a minute or so, just enough for the skins to be easily peeled
Warm a pan of milk enough to cover the chestnuts (1" or so higher)

Those that are slimming, please look away now.
2 1/2 pounds of chestnuts
4 ounces chocolate
4 ounces butter
4 ounces sugar
Boil scored chestnuts until the skins are soft enough to remove, then peel.
Boil the peeled nuts until soft, then whizz them in the processor to make a puree.
Melt the chocolate in a tiny amount of water, stir in the butter and sugar.
Stir in the warm chestnut puree.
When completely mixed, turn into an oiled dish, cake tin, what have you, and refrigerate for twenty-four hours.
Serve with cream.
It's okay slimmers, you can turn round now.
