Yeh… They are actually fairly common around here. I have collected them a few times. Not long after we moved here I had a few hundred drying in the shed and the squirrels stole them. I did some other years and shelled them out. I will eat some, but not really a favorite. Like English walnuts a lot more. My great aunts used to make black walnut cake. Probably first place I ever had them when I was a kid.
