I have tried roasting chestnuts before with pretty miserable results. What

The chestnut version of COVID:
More than a century ago, nearly four billion American chestnut trees
were growing in the eastern U.S. They were among the largest, tallest,
and fastest-growing trees. The wood was rot-resistant, straight-grained,
and suitable for furniture, fencing, and building. The nuts fed billions
of wildlife, people and their livestock. It was almost a perfect tree,
that is, until a blight fungus killed it more than a century ago. The
chestnut blight has been called the greatest ecological disaster to
strike the world’s forests in all of history. The American chestnut
tree survived all adversaries for 40 million years, then disappeared
within 40.
