Summary: Fried acorns are good.

The acorns from white oaks in Michigan are pretty good roasted in oil.
Acorns of red oaks taste terrible.
You could try leaching out the tannin in red oak acorns by grinding them
up and soaking in water, then using the powder as flour, but I doubt even
that would be very appetizing.

In any case, take the husks off first and watch out for worms.
