A how to video on picking and using acorns!
Would you eat acorns? Could this be a sustainable food source?
I think I might try to pick some acorns next year. It's probably too late in the season to get any this year.

I'd try it
I don't see any problem with eating acorns. I eat hazelnuts and walnuts, so why not?
My mother tasted the inside of an acorn once. She said it was bitter.
I'd definitely try it. After reading My Side of the Mountain as a kid I've always wanted to try acorn pancakes.
I couldn't remember the name, but I thought about that story recently for some reason....

I remember that book too. There are probably very few people that read it that did not want their very own falcon.

I want to see how many I can store in my mouth.

I read somewhere that in Germany they roasted acorns to make ersatz coffee at the end of WWII.
I was always told they are poisonous so i never teied them. Looking it up, yes they are poisonous with tannin which can block the bodies ability to absorb nutrients. As @Guitar's Cry said, thet need boiling often to remove the tannins
But acorns might be the last draw for the squirrels.

Quite how sustainable it is supposed to be I would like to hear. The fuel needed to turn them into food is a little off-putting, for starters. Not much pannage goes on nowadays either.
