Horse Chestnut acorns
DC:
My neighbours Horse Chestnut tree is about to start dropping whatever you call their fruit. Is there any use for these things? Stain maybe.
Stoker:
Slingshot ammo. Keeps the neighbors cats at bay.
Thanks Leroy
YosemiteBen:
"chestnuts roasting over an open fire" ring a bell? Open the prickly pod and there are the nuts.
DC:
There's a difference between Chestnuts and Horse Chestnuts isn't there. Wikipedia says Horse Chestnuts are not Chestnuts to start with and they are slightly poisonous.
Pat B:
Horse chestnuts are the European cousin to buckeyes(Aesculas) and I don't think they are edible. The Ohio buckeye is poisonous.
