Chestnuts and Spinach With Smoked Duck Breast

French junkfood-meets-posh-food in this chestnut season experiment. A delicious combination! The French cream cheese is "Vache qui rit" it doesn't taste the same without it. But 'zaar wouldn't let me put it in. I use frozen spinach because I'm a lazy cook. Serve over basmati rice or pasta.
