But this popular New York City streetside snack, now considered a comfort food by some, was actually a poor man's bread in 18th century France. When peasant farmers sold their grain crops to purchase salt and to give back a portion of their earnings to support their churches, they had very little everyday bread. As a result, they turned to chestnuts for protein and energy. Chestnuts could have been boiled, mashed or roasted, but they remained a staple food in those areas of the country where even the hardiest of cereal grains were unable to grow. Ironically, chestnuts were also coveted by the wealthy and were used to counteract the effects of an overly rich diet. The ancient Roman patricians would often eat chestnut soup when they visited their health spas, as chestnuts were believed to cleanse and purify the digestive system.

"Chestnuts, get your chestnuts. Just $1 a bag." These familiar sentences echo from the busy streets of New York City during the fall and winter season. Shoppers, tourists and locals alike savor the nutty aroma of roasted chestnuts as they traverse the city's sidewalks.
