Description
Peeling water chestnuts is a tedious task, but on almost every street corner in central China you’ll see uncles and aunties effortlessly flicking away the hard shells with paring knives and chatting with one another.
You can buy a bag to snack on, these are larger, sweeter and more refreshing than the tinned kind. Right now in China somewhere a vendor is peeling a water chestnut so someone else can enjoy a crunchy snack, without the hassle.
