Feral Kevin, I assume you are aware of Anastasia Ringing Cedars series. If not, I think you will love it.

Thanks for your inspiration.

Peace.

No, I haven't heard of that series. I looked into it -- sounds amazing. Thanks!

The korean market is stocked with acorn products, acorn flower, acorn noodles, and acorn bread making supplies, and so on. Acorn is commonly used in Korea, and Japan to this day,and it's common for people to make acorn bread or pancakes at home, even from the trees they gather.

Acorn was part of the main diet of European tribes, from the German tribes, Slavic, Romani, Bulgarian, and the Viking. In Scottland and all throughout the U.K. people still use acorn in their diet. Not in America.

Yeah great. Natives slept on feather pillows and had no cares in the world.

Dendrology is cool too. But that's not your point.

Are you going to actually show us how to cook the damn things, or is this more of a preaching exercise?

If you haven't read Tending the Wild by M. Kat Anderson or Oak, Frame of Civilization by William Bryant Logan you HAVE to read them.  Civilizations supported by acorns are known as Balanocultures and are arguably the first civilizations to pop up on Earth. Nerd out my brother!!!

You Rebel!

I wholly agree with you Brother. The Monster-Santo corporation with it's GM Hybrid heinous crops of death, and the Federal Reserve New World Order Over-Lords couldn't enslave us Serfs if we could live off the land. Thank you for waking us up!

Preach on brotha. Sometimes I look over cities, and just imagine what it was like when it was all natural. The biodiversity, the flora. Not that I'm a survivalist, but if there's ever a major agricultural disaster in the U.S. we'd be done. We have killed off all of the biodiversity.

Some developers just cut down the venerable oak tree that supplied my acorns. It had a treehouse too, which makes it doubly sad.
