Doesn't even have to be savoury with chestnuts - they're also brilliant pureed or crumbled, slightly sweetened and added to an ice cream mix
Or puree them with a sweetener of your taste, cover with whipped (or even squirty) cream, dust with some grated dark choc or cocoa and it's Monte Bianco
Chestnut and anything cake is an option (chestnut and chocolate torte-type things particularly amazing)
They wouldn't last 3 weeks let alone 3 years in my cupboard!

Always a bit disappointed you rarely see unprepared nuts for sale outside of Christmas time

It looks terrible
Feels terrible
But is tasty and weirdly light to eat
one of those dishes that confuses the palate completely
I’ll get a photo of it next time

Very similar to the Xmas cake here minus the cream filling

Exasperated, not angry.
It looks like a bagel from here!

It's almost identical except, as you say, for the filling. Ours was vanilla and chocolate cream.
It gets part of the name, roscon, from the fact that it looks like a large bagel. At least that's what I'm told.

It's lighter than stollen. I think it is better for that.

Good news - mealworms have been approved in the EU. Not sure if they're already approved in the UK but hope so. If not dessiato will have to be our guinea pig and report back on the crunchy goodness.

I had them years ago. They're nice. I like them fried with a hint of garlic and chilli, which also works with most worms, although earthworms do make a decent omelette.Good news - mealworms have been approved in the EU.

Caviar (lumpfish) - that was a waste of £4. Blinis too, also not impressed.
Have some salmon caviar too but not that keen on trying it now.
have been feeding a feral cat at work, he’s so gonna get spoiled next week

They might be able to join together to make a functioning writhing hand, like the one out of the Adam's Family.But they haven't got any hands

The top one is dates with chocolate and mint, the second fig with almonds. Both are compressed into a dense cake. The first was both nice and disappointing. The flavour was that of After 8 mints, completely swamping the dates. The second was exactly as you'd expect.
Both very nice and I'll have them again.

Today I'm making tortillitas de camerones, which are like small pancakes with tiny, whole, shrimp in them. It's a simple recipe and, i hope, very tasty. I haven't had these tiny shrimp before, and they're supposed to be eaten whole, shell, head, everything.
