On the subject of name confusion and odd critters, can
anyone tell me anything about an edible, wild nut-like
thing called chinky-pins? No idea of the spelling; my mom
says she used to eat them ca. the Depression in Arkansas,
along with a wild grape-ish thing the name of which escapes
me, but was something similarly odd. They probably grew in
the bayous? >>
There is a wild grape in the Southeast called chinquapin. About the size of
a marble, tough bronze colored skin, skin bitter, grapeseed size seeds, sweet
meat, yellowish clear color.
