Oops. I forgot about these. There is some info on preparing and eating 
acorns in this file in the FOOD section of the Florilegium:

There is some info on preparing and cooking small game birds in this 
file, although you will have to look at the comments and recipes to see 
if they would apply to cooking these in the New World:
birds-recipes-msg (20K)  5/18/01    Bird recipes. Squabs, pheasants, 
quail.
