Chestnut Search Day
Celebrated on 3 OctoberSome scientists believe that people began to collect and eat chestnuts earlier than cereals.
Before the advent of potatoes, they were the staple food for most of the population of modern France. The delicacy tastes like nuts and baked potatoes. But before you get on the roasting rack or an old frying pan with specially made holes, the chestnut fruits need to be found.
