Boniatos y castañas / Sweet potatoes and chestnuts

Durante el otoño, estos dos productos (asados) se vuelven muy típicos, junto con los "panellets", un postre a base de mazapán, son unos de los platos que podemos encontrar en las mesas el "Día de todos los Santos" o la víspera (la noche halloween en el mundo anglosajón). La foto la he tomado de un puesto de frutas y verduras, tras pedir permiso a la dueña, que ha accedido amablemente.

During the fall, these products (roasted) become very typical, along with the "panellets", a dessert made of marzipan, are some of the dishes that can be found in the tables the "Day of All Saints" or the eve (night Halloween in the English speaking world). The photo I took of a fruit and vegetables shop, after asking permission to her owner who has kindly agreed.
Love all the brown tones! What an interesting cart!

I miss roast chestnuts. It was the street food in Beijing and it smells so nice with their caramelised flavour. I hope that one day, they will appear here in Wellington. Do people in Spain roast kumara too? I think that they are kumara besides the chestnuts.

@irisn @tasian Thank you very much. I've seen this cart for a while, and ever, fascinated me. This time I decided to include to the project. But I thought this will not be its last picture ;)
@yaorenliu Thank you very much, after "googleing" a bit, I've found that the vegetable from the left are kumara or called sweet potates ( translator gave me the term "sweet potatoe"). Here you can find some seasonal street stall where you can buy roasted chestnuts or kumara. If one of them will be so kind to let me take a picture, I'll incorpore here further, as part of the fall theme. ;)

Never had a roasted chestnut but I bet they are good. This is a lovely shot with lots of shades of brown.
