I'm sorry you had trouble with this file. Any suggestions on how to improve
things? This may be a problem that is specific to the -msg (message) files and
the fact that the info, since it comes from multiple people over time, can be
circuitrous and contradicting. Of course if someone wants to write me an
article on Quinces, I'd love to consider adding it to the files...

I believe there is some info in this file on chestnuts, but it may be more

on how to roast them and such, rather than specific recipes.
