It's called a conker or a horse chestnut - you can't eat them but you can eat their relative the sweet chestnut (there's a pic of them in my last Silent Sunday). In England conkers are synonymous with autumn and traditionally kids hang them on string to play games with them.
Apologies for the word verification but I am getting so many spam comments I have had to activate it for a while. Thank you for bearing with me and commenting - comments really do make my day :)

Hi that is a very unusual fruit, but what is it? Is it eaten by humans?
