When the wife is away, it's time to cook weird stuff in the kitchen. I collect buckets full of acorns for my goats. Some I shell, grind into flour and soak overnight in the stream beside my house (to remove poisonous tannins) for human consumption. In this video, patties of ground acorn meat are fried for lunch. Not only are acorns a vital resource for wildlife, they are plentiful enough to feed a nation in times of crop shortages or collapse.
