This Florilegium file in the FOOD section might be of use:

chestnuts.
                                        Roasting. Recipes.

While using the search engine might find some info on the sloe and  
rotabaga, I don't remember too many discussions on these particular  
fruits/vegetables. I'm not sure if I've ever seen them in the stores  
here.

There is this file on the seasonality of foods, but I'm not sure how  
big a help it will be to you on local seasons.
