Salutations, gentlefolk,

Did a bit of research and found that the little green tennisballs
falling in my front yard actually contain black walnuts.

Any advice on how to seperate the edible part from the "containers'',
and prepare them ?

I'd probably offer them for free to anybody willing to come and pick
them up. Removing the husk and shell is a major PITA, especially for
something that tastes the way toe jam smells.

"To each his own."

I think they are delicious--aromatic and not bitter like some English
walnuts. They're wonderful in cookies or brownies. They ARE a PITA
to extract from the shells, however, and never come out whole.
