This. Chestnut stuffing is the best kind of stuffing

> If you love stuffing don’t just stop at one. Cook one inside the turkey to help keep it juicy, then cook another separately. This classic chestnut, bacon and herb stuffing is packed full of flavour and perfect for Christmas.

Another vote for stuffing.

My grandmother used to make delicious chestnut stuffing, but she boiled them(after piercing). They didn’t get soggy at all - I don’t think there was any difference in texture between those and the roasted chestnuts I’ve had. And I ate a _lot_ of them while ‘helping’ her peel them.
