Anyways, over here in North America (Canada and the United States...maybe Mexico) we have so many bloody trees that drop nuts/acorns and seeds of one sort or another, well...we just leave them for the raccoons, skunks, opossums, birds and maybe even bears/deer/moose/caribou.
Hockey is way more exciting!
Butternuts are nice, but more for eating, but anyways...and don't forget walnuts, pecan trees.
We like to create lovely dishes/desserts with regards to our local nut bearing trees/bushes.
