Hardly ever touched one until adulthood. My family was just not into
chestnuts I guess. But I have too many kitchen gadgets and too little
storage space to invest in something that has only one use during a
limited time of the year. The Dao of Alton Brown, obviously. <grin>

Had Mel Torme, songwriter of "A Christmas Song," actually done a lot of
chestnut-roasting on an open fire in nearly chestnut-free Los Angeles?
Hard to say.
