My chestnuts are raining down these days. These are mostly 3/4” or so, later the bigger trees will drop some lunkers.

I doubt I’ll have the patience to roast and shell these. Other ideas for eating them?

This thread has some good ideas for processing chestnuts

Alternatively, if you keep chickens you could cook, crack and feed them to the chickens or feed uncooked to pigs.
