And while we're on the subject

While we're on the subject of things I'm not sure if anybody actually does, have any of you ever actually roasted chestnuts on an open fire? What's the benefit of this?

I've tried. It was inconvenient and a bit dangerous. The oven, even a toaster oven, is far superior.

I think the only purpose is that it's a traditional thing to do in winter when you have a fire going. (Fun fact: the song was originally intended to talk about marshmallows roasting, but that didn't scan as well.)
