Conkers - the playful chestnut cousin
A conker is the seed of the horse chestnut tree – not the sweet edible chestnut tree. Though eaten by animals, horse chestnuts are semi-poisonous and not for human consumption. In fact, they are best tied to a shoelace for a rousing game of conkers (or kingers), which is smashing and destroying an opponent’s nut with your own conker.
