We are aware that candied chestnuts are, in fact, a real confection. However, they may as well be fictional, because we're not sure if we know anyone who actually has eaten them or knows where to get them. We're familiar with them primarily through Brian Jaques' Redwall series, where candied chestnuts are the major sweet of the largely vegan (although they eat fish), medieval society featured in it.
I guess they eat honey, too, so maybe they're not vegan? Do these distinctions still apply when all the characters are different species of sentient anthropomorphic animals, domesticated animals don't appear to exist, and fish scale (har har) with the other characters, but insects remain tiny?
Where did they get the cane sugar to candy the chestnuts with anyway? Do they make beet sugar?
Are we over thinking this? Isn't that our job anyway?
