Mmm Acorn paste.

[dynachrome]

If I don’t eat there, am I racist?

[nickcarraway]

I have a cookbook, always meant to try making acorns.

[econjack]

Is there a way to read it without subscribing?

[Larry Lucido]

If you eat there, you’re racist. They accept wampum or bitcoin.

[MomwithHope]

They are very bitter!

[Larry Lucido]

Only authentic recipes allowed.

Cafe Ohlone is a valuable and necessary space for Ohlone cultural identity in the East Bay, where tradition flourishes in a modern-day setting. We have waited since our early closure

Native American cuisine is an acquired taste. The Wokies in Berkeley are going to have to make believe they like it when they first taste it. Most will be a one and done.

I’ll have bark with a side of moss.

[gundog]

Yeah, I’ve had a real hankering for some clams and blackberries.

[Rummyfan]

That’s not whetting my appetite.

[Jamestown1630]

If they do frybread, I’m in.

But that seems sort of controversial.

[Osage Orange]

Ohlone culture, from foraged indigenous foods to the Chochenyo language?????

..........................................................

Never heard of this.....

I have heard of Abalone though...and have ate it.

I'm part Native Pottawatomi...and speak some...but not much.

[MuttTheHoople]

Happy Hour- two for one firewater.

” clams and blackberries.”

Without food stamps it would be a summer staple for the poor in coastal towns.

[gundog]

I dunno. Most seem too stupid to figure it out. I hike through some homeless camps on my way to the grocery store. I’m making mental notes of the edible plants I see. No wild walnuts around here, but I recognize the mussels, clams, blackberries, oxalis and tomato in that dish. Transportation will be a big deal if things get much worse. A bike ride to an area I could dig a few clams might be fun.

Wonder if they will serve these foods...The Piutes ate pounded earthworms, others ate maggots.

I will say that the venison backstrap looks pretty good.
