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. -- _ Peter Benson | ITT Defense Communications Division (619)578-3080 | 10060 Carroll Canyon Road decvax!ittvax!dcdwest!benson | San Diego, CA 92131 ucbvax!sdcsvax!dcdwest!benson |
