There are usually some in the East Coast organic veg boxes that are delivered this week - don't know where they get them, but most of their stuff is local.

Waitrose also, but didn't look close enough to see origin.

Nor did I.
The Waitrose ones will be South Englandshire (but hand picked by Northerners down for the week as per the new government employment rules)Posted 13 years ago # -
I'm just back from Waitrose, but I couldn't see any fresh chestnuts so sorry can't help here.
Oddly they seem to be suffering from "panic avoidance" of bread and have lots of full shelves of it reduced to clear. Or perhaps by the time their delivery of CBP bread arrived it was almost ready for sell-by

Sure I saw some in Tesco (Firhill) last week.
I also bought some last year from one of those "hot chestnuts" braziers stands on Princes St - (They were burnt! YUK! Never again!)
