**Fresh water chestnuts are worth seeking out; they are becoming more available in supermarket produce departments and are so remarkably sweet and crunchy, they make the tedious peeling process seem very worthwhile. Chinese children eat them as snacks and have contests as to who can peel them fastest. Fresh water chestnuts must be washed thoroughly. Cut off the top, then peel the skin off.
