Chinese Water Torture? This was popularized after the Korean War (1950-1953), in which water flowed "drop by drop...steadily from a tube" for hours upon end in within the hearing distance of a POW (allied Prisoner of War); after a period of such exposure, the POW would (or could) break to give military intelligence (information).

If you are referring to 'Chinese Water Chestnut', or simply water chestnut, it is a small, rounded corms with a crunchy white flesh and can be eaten raw, texture is slightly harder than apple, but it is usually sweet. Often cooked to use as fillings inside Chinese fried dumplings or 饺子 jiao(3) zi. See Wikipedia link below/.
