After reading this thread, I almost bought some clementines today, then I remembered that they're excluded from my diet, as are all orange related fruit, as they're high in phosphorus, and that's bad for people with no functioning kidneys. Damn. I'm glad for the rest of you, however.

ANd I agree with Spaw. The chestnut sellers were all over New York City when I was a kid. They had real charcoal roasters back then, and I think it was the smell of the charcoal burning, rather than the nuts that attracted me, but my Dad would never buy them. I later learned that he was right, they just aren't that good. The taste is okay, but they're kind of dry and have a kind of unpleasant feel in my mouth.
