roasted chestnuts
Hot street treat
Roasted chestnuts are chestnuts cooked over heat until their shells split and their flesh turns sweet and tender.
Street vendors sell them from carts in autumn and winter, especially around the holidays: The smell of roasted chestnuts filled the cold December air.
The phrase evokes nostalgia and seasonal warmth, immortalized in the song lyric about chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
