Living in the "Buckeye State" I can assure you that a Buckeye is not a food source folks....unless you want to eat the Ohio Stae University football team (nicknamed the Buckeyes). At some time in the distant past I mentioned bad tasting chestnuts and was assaulted by other members here explaining different grades and types and how I had eaten the wrong ones. Since that time I have been educated into the ways of the chestnut world and sampled what I was told to try and now I must say this:

My thinking on chestnuts has not changed one fraction of one tiny iota. If ever something was to substitute for dog shit, the chestnut must surely be the thing! I have never tasted dog shit personally although with two largish Weimaraners the possibility has presented itself. Even without that experience, I just feel absolutely sure that between chestnuts and dog shit, there is not the slightest difference. Anyone who would like some "chestnuts" ..... I'd be more than happy to send you some Weimshit which probably also has fewer calories.
