Maybe wine is better to make than nuts anyway! I did read somewhere that you could just let the squirrels eat the nuts and then eat the squirrels, but not sure I am ready for that :-) Thanks Dan!

My only experience with Oak related food is of using the new spring leaves to make a very palettable wine, have a look at Roger Philips 'Wild food' for a good recipe. Dan.

Just have to get round to killing a pigeon then! Do you have an experience with acorns? We have dried, peeled, boiled and then roasted them and they are ok, but not THAT good. They go ok into a curry! But they preparation time and water needed was huge, unless starving won't be doing that again too soon! Tracy Thanks for that!
