Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 29 October 2009

Conkers

• DOUBTLESS the chestnut recipes by Clare Latimer are delicious, but gathering chestnuts for human consumption is not without risk.
The wholesome chestnuts correctly illustrated in the New Journal should not be confused with the more common, but poisonous horse chestnuts which are best only used as conkers. Without the green casements it is difficult to tell the difference.
