    The corms of the water chestnut are rich in carbohydrates (about 90% by dry weight), especially starch (about 60% by dry weight)

    And therefore evil!

    But wrap them in bacon, and soak them in this hot, sweet, spicy sauce my mom used to make and we can talk.

    I love water chestnuts. And cilantro. Black licorice too.

    But you can have all my olives.

    I've decided I like them. I didn't realize mean lady karate guy was messaging everyone! I thought I was special! :'( But seriously, I think he's messaged me twice about that and I have no idea what his end game was.

    What? Who?

    Some guy mentioned earlier in the thread. Messages you about an older lady who punched him in the balls and he doubled over in pain. Apparently it's some class where 'anything goes' fighting. She tells him she didn't hit him hard and to 'man up'. He's humiliated and asks your opinion. He basically keeps asking the same question over and over until you stop feeling sorry for him. It was weird.

    Yep, even I got messages from him awhile back. With my old account and then with my new account as well. I don't usually get weirdo messages. I think they realize I am their superior in weirdness. Only ball kicking guy and "Did you know we are all made out of star dust?" guy. Unless he is changing his tune to "Did you know we are all made out of water chestnuts?"

    How is all of this escaping me?

    It's been awhile, but he will probably be back. I think he lurks. I never saw him post, but have received almost identical messages multiple times and with him using a different username and name. Last one was probably 6+ months ago though.
    Hi Ben/Chris!

    :D this is good stuff!

    I bet the PM changes slightly now.... but it will still be about a woman inflicting pain on a man or him calling her a "man-hater".
    Note to guys: Your first PM should not be 3-5 paragraphs long telling a woman some random story that she doesn't give a flying *kitten* about. Also, you should probably just go to Fetlife. You have a better chance getting someone to bite there.

    Allow me to add, your first PM should say more than "hi"

    Or "do you have kik?"

    I can't believe you got that many people to extol / disparage the shy root corm.

    It's like that old saying goes, "The best nut is the water chestnut."

    I think you mean "The best nut is on a hot fudge sundae."

    You know, I like water chestnuts as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure I'd put them on a hot fudge sundae. :)

    Some people like water chestnuts and some people don't. Are those people wrong that have a different opinion than you? I say yes in this case. I am for water chestnuts and will discuss how they are appropriate and why. Do you agree or disagree that water chestnuts are good? Why?

    Pet name for bewbs. Everybody loves bewbs.

    Wait, did I start this thread???

    I had water chestnuts tonight...I usually love them...I was making stir fry and I had a can of them...they were not excellent, not as good as the ones you usually get in Chinese food...next time I'll have to try fresh ones.

    I should have known ONLY @cee134 would revive this old chestnut.
