I can remember in old Bobbsey Twin books about them roasting chestnuts and having to X them so they wouldn't explode! Now I'd really like to taste some.

Do you roast them in some kind of wire basket or just throw them in the fire?

When we were little, my mom used to get chestnuts at the supermarket every winter. Since we didn't really use our fireplace, she would "roast" the chestnuts in the oven. I think they're done when the sides of the cut you made split apart.
