A bit early in the season, perhaps, but anyone seen them yet?

It's not early at all. I've purchased them at the RTM and at various farmers' markets in the city. I'm sure local chestnut are available at local farmers' markets in your area. The imported Italian chestnuts should be available by now in most supermarkets. I'm pretty sure I saw them at Wegman's/Cherry Hill last week, so check out the new Collegeville store or Downingtown.

I haven't seen them in Chicago yet! :(

I even asked a manager at one of the large grocery stores, Dominicks, last week. He told me "Not yet, too early".

So - maybe it's just Chicago (or the Midwest) that is slow on the bandwagon. Darnit!
