Ok, first a disclaimer.
I was raised a city girl. My food and nuts
come to me wrapped in plastic and ready to either cook or eat. Leah, another
English teacher, and I went to Suncheon to hang out in the open market and get
some sun. We picked up some things and bought them home. Well a few weeks later
I noticed small maggots on the floor. I swept it up and tried to figure out if
there was something dead beneath the floorboards. I called my co-teacher who
called the landlady to visit the apartment. Turns out if you leave a bag of
chestnuts in a plastic bag for three weeks maggots will appear.
Seriously?
The only thing I know about chestnuts is
the Christmas song.
How in the world am I suppose to know how
to store chestnuts that were picked up from the mountains?
There were never processed so I figured
anything natural can stay outside of the fridge, right?
WRONG.
I was suppose to freeze them to avoid the
maggots.
