[QUOTE=August West] …As a further update, my suspicions were correct and roasted acorns sprinkled with smoked salt are _really_ good! [/QUOTE] Acorns and **Bacon** Salt. ---

**Mangetout** , would a package of American acorns be allowed into the UK? If so, I’d be willing to send you some of my naturally mild ones. I do have Bacon Salt, but that might overpower the acorn, I’ll give it a try with my next batch. ---

Sorry, I may have to rescind that offer, the squirrels have been active and the ones they have left behind are damaged by some type of insect larvae. I managed to find only 8 acorns worthy of eating. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/acorns-are-pretty-good/423062.md?page=2)
