for many hundreds of years the indigenes people of north America lived off the land. This is one of the many foods they harvested to sustain them.

Ingredients

Acorns – as many as you may need.
Maple syrup as much as you like

Directions

First you need to process the acorns by shelling them, pounding into a powder, then rinsing them several times till all the tannic acid comes out. I use one leg of a pair of panty hose to put the powdered acorns in, then run the sink and soak and squeeze , change water, soak and squeeze, till the color of the water runs clear. In the field you can use a pot of water or soak in a running stream for the same effect.

I then put some acorn mush in a bowl, add about 3 tablespoons of water, and put in the micro-wave for about 3 minutes, then add one tablespoon of maple syrup.

Note: of course THEY did not have microwaves. its pretty good. makes a great breakfast. if cooking outdoors in the wilderness you will have to modify the way you cook it. You can boil it, make a bread or cake and bake or fry it. Or you can toast the meal and carry it dry and make it as you travel, sometimes even taking a mouth full and drink it down with water.
