I think the Culinary section requires more details or needs expansion. It has no mention of the use of oak casks in whiskey/rum/bourbon/cherry and the recycling of the cask by different aging of alcohols. Also doesn't cover the Culinary uses for the acorns such as their use as feed stock for pigs and boars or the fact that certain varieties of oaks have been selected for the edibility of their acorns.
