Chesnuts

When I first moved here, I had no clue what these painful balls of fury were. Now I'm older and wiser, they're chestnuts. I see them all around the neighborhood and have always like being able to harvest things from around my neighborhood.
But all I know about chestnuts comes from the Bing Crosby song. What if you don't have an open fire? Can I eat these raw? Can they be oven roasted like a chicken?
Or maybe, I'll just leave them alone. Any nut protected like Darth Vader's head, might be to much for me to handle.
