And I was pretty comfortable in the knowledge that the season wasn't too long passed, so maybe they were a late crop. Anyway, they were so good, I called the store as soon as I got up this morning (good to see I have my priorities right, right?) to find out if they had more and, sadly, they didn't.
When you know that's it for the season, whether chestnuts, summer tomatoes or anything else you love, there's both a hint of grief and a tonne of gratitude for having enjoyed a good share.
And when I say good share, please understand that we ordered 3 lots of 5kg bags of chestnuts this season from Sinclair Orchards in Stanley, a sweet, ezy-peel variety that had me at hello some five years ago.
They're also delivered by Australia Post on your doorstep with a delightful thud that sends us, well, nuts.
Roll on Easter. While some love it for the chocolate, I love it for the start of the chestnut season.
What season do you hang out for (food-wise, of course) and why?
