Eating Acorns, is it a good idea?

[redFury]

3. The acorns were free.

Great thoughts honestly... but I think there is likely a reason why they are free. And and a reason why you don't hear people talking about eating them.

Grass is very nutritious, only you can't digest the cellulose in the leaves, but if you chew it, and spit out the pulp, you get some of those nutrients. I have a ****load of free lawn clippings for you if you want to come get them.

Anyone ever try wheatgrass juice? Is it nasty? Any benefits from it?

I've always heard that acorns are only edible if you prepare them in a certain way - like boiling them for a long time or scraping them or something like that.

When I was in first grade, I brought acorns to school to show for show and tell, but I got so nervous about having to show them that I put the acorns in my mouth to hide them. Then, my teacher asked me what was in my mouth and I tried to say "nothing" with a mouth full of acorns.

I will not eat any acorns, nor will I eat grass. And I will not ask any more questions about eating things that are not commonly sold as food in retail markets. Please just let this thread die.

[badmules]

it is true though that if you eat too many acorns you will become an acorn. Then you will wish you were really a squirrel instead of the acorn(u) that the squirrel is eating

Hey guys I was at the hospital recently and I picked up a baby. Theyre free and seem pretty nutritious, anyone know how to prepare baby?

[AKMass]

Babies <> free.

[Hatred]

I hear that if you gather a bunch of acorns and throw them into a pot of water along with the baby it's quite tasty.

Don't forget to stuff the baby's ass chock full O'nuts first.

Logic FTW

I have decided not to consume acorns. Thank you for your time.

hahahahahaha I don't know why but I found this hilarious.

[mickyjune26]

From experience, acorns are NOT a tasty treat. They actually kind of taste like aspirin.

Too bad they don't have the same benefits as aspirin. i could totally save 2 dollars the next time i have a headache.

Isn't there some sort of bark that gets rid of headaches? Where is a medicine man when you need one?

This is a funny story! ROFL. Why is everything so funny in this thread?

[Hatred]

This really is one of the best threads Evar. I think I may stick it.

[Invain]

Even though it wasn't meant to be....

This is one of the funniest threads I've read in a while.

[badmules]

just saw on a recipe news channel, HoneyBaked ham stuffed with an ACORN squash lol.. Acorns are edible and cheap! you will however, have to fend off and/or fight the squirrels for the acorns and they are not scurred .....

[zen]

I have acorns at my place, and buckeyes, but the only non-fruit that falls from my trees that I have contemplated eating is the walnuts... but I heard you have to cook them and can't eat them raw, so I never tried them. Personally, I'll leave them to the squirrels unless the world economy collapses and I turn to scavenging.

[samadhi_smiles]

My input to this strange thread:

Yes, I have consumed acorns before. They are quite tasty. When we used to shoot squirrels to eat something, we would slit open their stomachs and a lot of times they would have an acorn paste in them. We would use this to thicken a gravy that we would eat with the squirrel meat. Delicious!

Also, you might not want to mess around kentucky blue grass as it contains a somewhat potent tryptamine (dimethyltryptamine). However, it is not orally active, but apparently in some species it is since there have been reports of animals 'tripping out' after consuming it!

[BFGUITAR]

I cant believe this thread is still going.

[Cirino83]

I can't believe people eat squirrels.

[AKMass]

I can't believe people eat squirrel pre-poop.

I also can't believe it's not butter.

I can't believe people eat squirrels.

lemme tell you a story about a man named Jed......
