Water chestnut may refer to either of two plants (both sometimes used in Chinese cuisine):
- The Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis), eaten for its crisp corm
- The Water caltrop (Trapa natans), eaten for its starchy seed
Famous quotes containing the word water:
“Dying smokers sense
Walking towards them through some dappled park
As if on water that unfocused she
No match lit up, nor drag ever brought near....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
