HAPPY JOHNNY APPLESEED DAY! ;Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_IrdS-zu48&feature=related
Acorns were eaten during November as you can see here in “Les Tr?s Riches Heures du Duc de Berry” by Jean Limbourg, early 15th century.February was the coldest month of the year, check it in details, quite surprising !
I am familiar with this astonishing book and grateful that it survived.Acorns were very important as the provided food for hogs which roamed the forests of Europe feastingon the fallen treats. he word "mash" is somehow related, but it is too early to think about looking it up.Pigs were a vital part of the peasant life as they bred rapidly, essentially took care of themselves andwere, I am told, quite tasty "sweet is the meat of the pig" is a line I recall from somewhere, but as I said it is too early and I am up by accident. Thanks for the pictures--lovely.
...word "mash" is somehow related, but it is too early to think about looking it up.....
Do you mean "mast"... the edible vegatative or reproductive part produced by woody species of plants, i.e. trees and shrubs, that wildlife species and some domestic animals consume.[from Wikipedia]
