I thought they were good. <br />I also think they would make for some good crafts & just using them for decorations. You are so lucky to have them.<br />The tree that produced these nuts was hugh. We had a swing of rope & a board from one of the limbs.<br />I also remember the Beechnut Gum.

I wonder if they need to be cooked in some way.<br /><br />Oh Skeeter, the Beechnut gum....I used to like it also. I do not know of any stores that sell it now but I bet there are some, somewhere as I have seen it for sale in some catalogs. The Vermont Country Store is the one I can think of right now.

Not sure if it'd be worth it shucking the nut but yes, great source of protein if ever lost in the woods. Don't be like Stephen King's "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon'. Scary book that was being lost in the woods of Maine! tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-90616437882809567532009-11-27T08:11:20.829-06:002009-11-27T08:11:20.829-06:00I wouldn't give up on them just yet.
