Thanks Penny & George - DH wouldn't like the fresh ones in a recipe if they are sweet. I like the canned ones for their crunchiness and find they don't have much taste either. Next time I see some fresh ones I will definitely pick up a couple to try.

Hi, Penny in N.S., fresh water chestnuts (which requre peeling)
are definitely somewhat sweet, and absolutely delicious! They
do NOT turn dark after peeling.
Mothers in China, I am told, get nagged by their children to share
them while they are being prepared. I canot vouch for this,
however, because I have known many young Chinese students who
had never encountered this vegetable inside of China..... It might
be quite like Chinese fortune cookies -- NEVER found inside China!
Or perhaps they are too expensive .....
They are available in season from Chinatown grocery stores all over
the world - just like fresh lychees.
