Summary: 

The native americans whose language I used to study, Luiseno,
made a dish called wiiwish.  The basic recipe is to grind the
acorns up in a stone metate, called a maalal, and then running
lots of water through them to leach out the tannic acid.  Then
you cook the mashed, leached acorns until they form a pinkish
pudding that taste vaguely reminiscent of bubble gum,  It was
never my favorite dish, but you might like it.
