Conkers is a game where you play with your nuts!
Oooo er missus!
I thought they were the same thing!
Similar species - but one (Conkers) is poisonous whilst other (sweet chestnuts) are delicious roasted
Chestnuts are edible, conkers are not.
A conker is the fruit of the Horse Chestnut Tree and not recommended for eating.
they come from 2 different trees!!! chestnuts you can eat and conkers you can't!!!
whats the difference between chesters and conknuts?
Conkers are really Horse Chestnuts and the outer skin has large prickly spikes. Conkers cannot be eaten.
Chestnuts are just that,Chestnuts. The outer skin has spikes but they are prickly and furry and cover the whole of the outer skin. They can be eaten in various ways. Raw but they are a bit difficult to chew up. Cooked till soft on an open fire and they are delicious. Or you can boil them until soft and add all sorts of flavouring to them as a side dish to a meal.
Conkers are Horse Chestnut and are inedible, the others are Sweet Chestnut, the ones that are roasted or used in stuffing,
conkers are from the horse chestnut tree
edible chestnuts are from another type of tree.
never even heard of conkers sorry.
As has been said conkers are in fact Horse Chestnuts and whilst I don't know about poisonous for us certainly because of a lack of traditional recipes for them I doubt they're very nice. I believe the Horse Chestnut tree got it's name because horses are fond of the fruit (conkers).
As for cooking chestnuts, I've never been fond of them but they make a nice addition to a stuffing mix, they can be roasted and eaten hot or cold and can be used to make a pate using brandy or your favourite tipple to moisten up the mix.
Conkers come from the Horsechestnut tree Aeseculus hippocastanum and are inedible. Chestnuts come from the Spanish or Sweet Chestnut tree Castanea sativa and are edible.
Here's a pic of a conker busting out of it's casing, the spikes are large and solid, but there aren't that many of them.

I've been told that they'd make a person ill, but I've never tested that!!

which is totally safe to eat! You can see the difference clearly..!
When they're not in their cases, a chestnut is shaped a little like a garlic - rounded but with a little pointy bit on top.

A conker is rounded and uneven, with no pointy bits.

Conkers are only fit to hang on a string and play silly childish games with..!

You can eat chestnuts, but you can't eat conkers. But you can pickle conkers in strong alcohol to make medicine for strained muscle. You don't drink it, you put it on where it hurts.
Conkers are from the Horse chestnut tree - so named because when you pull a leaf off a twig it leaves a horse-shoe shaped mark. They are poisonous.
Chestnuts come from the sweet chestnut which is also called the Spanish chestnut. They are edible. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire etc.
Conkers are NOT edible and chestnuts are !
Conkers are horse chestnuts and inedible. They are the fruit of Aesculus hippocastanum
