I bought two cans of water chestnuts recently, (the first time I ever
bought water chestnuts except as part of something in a restaurant).
They smelled a bit peculiar, so peculiar that I decided not to even taste
them.  Does everybody know something I don't know about buying water
chestnuts, like I'm supposed to hop off to a Chinese grocery and buy
them fresh (then what?), or the canned ones need to be washed a million
times, or?
