chʾintʾaangn a1acorns (gen.)Quercus spp.All acorn species are collected and eaten as a staple food, some prefered over others, and some requiring more leaching or fermentation to reduce tannins. A description of both the traditional and the updated process described by Kimberly Stevenot (Me-Wuk) is online at http://www.nativetech.org/recipes/recipe.php?recipeid=115 - highlights: storing one year to dry thoroughly, with regular stirring to prevent mold, mixed with California bay laurel leaves to repel and kill insect pests; cracking and sprinkling on a little water to loosen the adhering inner skin; pounding in a stone mortar w/ mortar hopper (or grinding in an electric grinder) to "the consistency of wheat flour mixed with very fine corn meal"; leaching in a depression of clean sand by the river (or in a wooden leaching basin with a cotton sheet underneath as filter) with cedar (or other aromatic) bows on top to distribute water poured on and add a nice flavor; mixed 2:1 with water for thick soup, 3:1 for thinner soup; soaking the cooking basket in water overnight to swell up and seal, and then rubbing a little of the leached wet acorn paste on the surface of the basket before adding the water & acorn, to further seal it; using only soapstone or basalt as cooking stones (as they don't crack/explode); heating stones in a really hot (oak or manzanita wood) fire and dipping them in water to clean off ash before putting in soup; stirring soup continually so rocks don't settle in a spot and burn the basket; setting rocks removed from the soup aside to let the adhering acorn meal cook into delicious chips; cooking an extra thick version of the soup and dropping it by small dipping basketfuls into cold running water to make gelatinous dumplings. "The staple foods were acorns, seeds of tarweed and various other plants, dried salmon, and venison." (Curtis, p.183)
"Acorns (tcuntañ), chief food, made into bread (tcuntañ tast) soup (tcuntañ ske). Tree climbed, acorn knocked down with hooked pole. If difficult to climb, acorns dislodged with stones thrown from slings." (Loeb, p.46)
"Acorns charred in fire, soaked 2-3 weeks (1 week if moldy), shelled.... Acorn meal leached with hot water in sand bed" (Loeb, p.47)
