I can only think of one Lorri35 - Mont Blanc Aux Marrons. Basically meringue, topped with sweet chestnut puree, finished off with whipped cream. It is a classic French winter dessert, but the Italians lay claim to it also. Here's a quick version from Nigella.

I think they're originally from Persia,but now in North Africa too.
You should never run out of things to do with them
(first-you can send some to me,they cost a fortune here :p
put them in a sandwich with tuna and shirazi salad,cook them with chicken or fish,add them to salads and soups
if you have any left-
pickle some kumkwats and arrange a nice decorative jar to put on your kitchen worktop (that is-if you have enough space,we've hardly any room for allthosefancy pasta jars we got)

Isn't that just so annoying lorri? You wonder why you bought the stuff in the first place! I don't know what to do with it. Sorry to be so unhelpful but I am sure someone will tell you.
You reminded me ... I have loads of lemons. I thought I might make some of those lemons preserved in salt, a Moroccan recipe I think. But what would I use them for?
