The annual consumption of chestnut in Hungary is about 2000-3000 tons, most of this quantity (despite that chestnut is a versatile food that can be used in both salty and sweet dishes) is eaten as a purée with whipped cream (the latter is among the 10 best-loved desserts in our country). Chestnut is, however, used in cakes and pastries as well.
Hungarian store-bought chestnut purée is quick-frozen and 250 grams in weight. This purée is usually combined with butter and whipped cream, and flavoured with rum and vanilla. Chestnut is often paired with sour cherries, which can compensate its sweetness.
