Same deal here, I changed water every 15 minutes for about 2.5 hrs. Tasted a fragment...pretty bland, so I stopped.
Drained, cooled, and put them in the oven with some salt. Tasted a piece after about 30 minutes. Its not bitter...its not anything. These are huge acorns, from a burr oak, some of these nutmeats are the size of a small walnut. Presuming these are done in 30 more minutes, can I expect anything more than a bland flavor once these are cooked all the way?
