FRIED CHESTNUTS - PORTUGESE DELICASY
FRIED CHESTNUTS
Ok so this is a delicacy that we have seen on the streets in Portugal. I have never tried a fried chestnut, so it was a totally new experience for me.
They tasted amazing and super delicious, it was like a mashed potato, with bacon and beans flavour.
Roasted chestnuts are popular street food in Portugal. Called castanhas assadas ("roasted chestnuts") in Portuguese, it is sold around November, when Dia de São Martinho (St. Martin's Day) is celebrated across the country.
Traditionally, newly harvested chestnuts are eaten around a bonfire on this day.
I would totally have them again!!!! WHO TRIED THESE?

I eat roasted chestnuts when I visit Japan, but I never tried fried chestnuts! Now I can’t wait for my trip later this month!
I think I need to move to Portugal... Yum!!!

I love roast chestnuts. You have to try boiled chestnuts, they are also great. Because of roasted and cooked chestnuts, autumn was my favorite season.
These sound delicious! With bacon flavor how could you go wrong!
i really like it , Please @allasyummyfood Follow me and i'll follow you ! :)
Looking very nice and delicious I have never eat it but now I will try to taste it ... nice Portugese Delicasy...
ohh realy ? never?
it is very nice and also you can mixed whit any stew...
before putting them to the fire or to the oven cuts with a knife ... that remain open, like crushed olives
Bundle of thanks for telling the recipe preparation ....
@allasyummyfood Indeed chestnuts are a true gift of taste and pleasure, one of my favourite things from my homeland of Portugal. But they are never fried! Not only would that be ridiculously unhealthy :P but street vendors actually freshly roast them on coal. Enjoy them while you can, they don't stick around beyond December, if you're lucky. And here in Canada we can buy chestnuts from Portugal in some Portuguese grocers or bakeries, but this year supply is low because of all the fires and disasters happening in the country...
And this isn't a biased note but from experience, the more commonly seen Italian or (especially) Chinese chestnuts, don't even come CLOSE to the amazing quality of chestnuts from Portugal!
Can you tell I love this food :-P
I made a video of a surprise find actually, when I visited back home 2 years ago!
