Believe it or not folks, Orhan was right, there is such a thing as acorn butter!!! 😂

Never heard of acorn butter but in my part of the world (California) acorns are a traditional food source dating back to before the Spanish arrived.

[@andreachristenson7069]

I know, right? Here’s me over here teaching my kid to crack them open to get the nut meat out when we didn’t bring treats for the ducks at the pond.
