I wrote that line to see who I could bait:-)


Those are very tiny, and it'd take hundreds of them to make a meal.
But seriously, if you mean the nuts they eat, hickory nuts are
positively delicious, and if they were eating only those, I bet they'd
be delicious, but they eat a lot of acorns. People pay big money for
acorn fed pork, but they can have my share of that too. I wish that I
liked the taste of acorns, and acorn fed mammals. Both are abundant
around here.

Acorns need to be boiled in several changes of water to be able to eat.
Large amounts of tannin.
I had a hickory tree in my front yard for many years, I would try to get
some before the squirrels got them all.
