我想知道溫哥華邊到有得賣。
因爲係整甜品用嘅。
Otherwise 自己係屋企整唔整到嘅呢？

Thanks~~~
I planned to make it myself too...
But then I hate the part cracking the shell and peeling it's furry skin.
Cuz it take a long time to do it, epecially when buying those Italian Chestnuts.
My Family and I tried different ways still takes a long time to do so.
Usually, how do you peel the Italian Chestnuts' skin?
I heard that the Chinese ones are easier to peel, but not always instock.

P.S. What is Vanilla Pod and where can I get the myers rum?  Can I use the Rum for Tiramisu like the Bacardi Gold.  Cuz I have that @ home~~

Re somewhereintime: Thanks for the info.  By the way, for the Vanilla Pod, can I use Vanilla Extract instead?

Re its_visa:  I'll drop by and take a look.  But I think I'll go with somewhereintime's receipe.  Cuz I don't want my fillings to be very sweet.  (By the way, did you get my PM Messages?  Cuz I didn't get any of your replies at all.)

Re Sheep:  I'm not making Chestnut Cake ar... I'm planning to make Chocolate Chestnut tarts.

我剛剛去完Super同T&T到搵罐頭栗子。係搵唔到嘅~~
結果買咗包有皮栗子返嚟。Now baking~~~
Actually 邊到有得賣罐裝嘅栗子呢？

Sorry, I was talking about the jar of Italian Marron.
It's hard to find.  I only saw water chestnuts which is 馬蹄 in Chinese.
