As someone that roasts and eats chestnuts, it's kind of odd to play with them. I suppose you ate many and also played, or are they simply not eaten there?

- dave333 2y agoHorse chestnuts are different and not edible.
- mintplant 2y agoThese are horse chestnuts, they're inedible.
- andrewaylett 2y agoConkers are horse chestnuts, rather than sweet chestnuts. Similar name, unrelated tree.
- klondike_klive 2y agoIs it really unrelated? The leaves and nuts seem so similar.
- kube-system 2y agoWikipedia indicates that they are a different genus, family, and order, so they are pretty much related in the way that they are both flowering plants. So they're kind of related like humans are related to weasels, because they're both mammals.
- HarHarVeryFunny 2y agoThe ones used for conkers are horse chestnuts (typically round in shape), not the same as the ones that are eaten which are spanish chestnuts and normally have flat sides.
