#36 Chestnuts: The taste of October

In this autumnal offering, we gather around the fire to explore the humble chestnut as a vessel of memory, migration, and ritual. From Catalonia’s La Castanyada to global traditions of roasting and remembrance, this episode cracks open stories nestled in the shell. Whether you’ve held a paper cone of roasted chestnuts in a bustling plaza or watched them split open in your own kitchen, this is a celebration of how food carries us home.
