Subject: pignuts



While helping my father (from Hannibal, MO) rake up his leaves this past

weekend, he pointed out what he called "pignuts" under the leaves--a very

thick-hulled, small-meat hickory nut (or are all hickory nuts like this?).

Has anyone else heard this term, and if so, where, when, etc.?

Thanks.
