Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
There's nothing so reminiscent of winter in London as catching a whiff of chestnets roasting on a brazier. There are few left, this man runs a fruit & veg stall in Covent Garden

Looks inviting!
the same in Portugal..Love chestnuts
Well, you certainly have missed out, yes Lavender Lady! They are delICIOUS! Adore them. Haven't seen any street sellers yet this year :( are they getting thin on the ground? As a child, we would walk along Oxford and Regent Street and in Knightsbridge stopping every so often for a tiny bag of yummy chestnuts!
Mmmmh...
nice shot
YUMMY! Even this So Cal Girl loves 'em...and I didn't even grow UP with them! My MIL always has them around this time of year...and she's from Indonesia...think she steams them in the pressure cooker tho...go figure! Ahhh... a fruit & two veg...I mean FRUIT & VEG stand...very charming! ;-)
I've never tried a hot chestnut. I'll have to come to London to try one.
Very nice capture
Hi Ham, what a coincidence with the theme chestnuts!
I pass this man every other day :))
But the fruit stall is gone, now it`s dodgy pasminas...
Does anybody know where i can buy a chestnut roaster like this?

Glad to hear that there are still some around. I have fond memories of roast chestnuts...
