I'll Take my Nuts Extra Roasted Please
I had a lot of Heisse Maroni Angst last year because most people I knew who tried them for the first time, hated them. They complained of weird texture and lack of taste. It was because of these common complaints that I decided to pass by the cute wooden houses billowing smoke without offering up a glance, let alone buying a sack.
During the Spring of 2010, I focused my energy on working up the courage to try them as soon as they were available this Fall. I am happy to report that not only did I try a hot sack of roasted chestnuts, I also loved them. Strike that...I am PROUD to report that I loved them. Whoah...that was cathartic. Admitting liking something that may make people gasp in horror has a way of liberating you. And to all you naysayers out there, YES, I love Switzerland but I don't blindly love everything about it here.
I do have to admit, I can see their consistency being an issue for many. They are sort of in between mushy and firm. I also admit that I prefer the ones that have roasted the longest. The extra smoky flavor really pushes the right buttons. If you are like I once was and have "Heisse Maroni Angst", then it likely occupies all of your thoughts. I am afraid the only cure is to try one of these hot nuts. Love them or hate them, at least you can go on living.

YES! You nailed it.
This blog post could not be any more perfect.
LOL, I'll wait for your report about your first Vermicelle :-)
Hmmm, You have inspired me to try them.
Don't know if you ever tried that southern roadside fave, the boiled peanut. Now there's a texture you either love or hate!
I love them too !!!! I even went to the Chestnut Festival held in October in Fully! BUt I must admit, I knew them already before coming to Switzerland... you can get them all over Spain too during Fall ;)
I actually like the Vermicelle because I like my desserts to be on the "less sweet" side.
As for the boiled peanut, they have grown on me. At first I thought they tasted like tiny boiled potatoes. I couldn't understand why anyone would turn a perfectly good peanut to mush. Now I like them.
Looking Delicious!!!
