I thought maybe it was because we're Italian. Chestnuts are always served in addition to a bowl filled with a wide variety of nuts and fruits. Even figs and fennel is served with these nuts. <br /><br />Happy New Year!Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076912971009055017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499058410224895358.post-2005838878095378142010-12-30T10:02:00.913-08:002010-12-30T10:02:00.913-08:00My grandparents always had nuts laying around, but...My grandparents always had nuts laying around, but we never ate them.

We had the silver nutcracker that you described and I had forgotten about the "dental pick" to get out the insides.<br /><br />Personally I found out that if you hold two walnuts in your hand and squeeze them together it would crack them open quite nicely.Marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954268371146885260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499058410224895358.post-79861475737896093412010-12-20T12:12:11.880-08:002010-12-20T12:12:11.880-08:00I'm pretty sure that my aunt having a similar ...I'm pretty sure that my aunt having a similar type wood bowl.
