Turkish calls roasted chestnuts a 'kebap', and the vendor who sells them is a kestaneci.
Scored chestnuts are roasted over coals on street carts and sold warm in small paper bags through the cold months.
Why it's made this way: Roasted chestnuts are one of Istanbul's classic cold-weather street foods, sold from carts across the city.
