It was fabulous, and I've been trying to find it here. And that's a shame, because the iron-rich nutmeat is healthful and lower in fat and calories than most other nuts. But in the early 1900s, the American chestnut tree was all but destroyed by blight, and the hybrid that took its place has never been very prolific. I'm not aware of any local eateries that serve chestnut ice cream. It's a super-sweet treat, because the chestnut contains a starch that turns to sugar when it's picked.
