Hey Chile-heads

This past weekend I was out along the road side
mesh bag in hand gathering black walnuts from a row of trees
that has survived urban sprawl in the small city I live in.
(Muskegon Mi. USA)
(I don't think this will last. )
Doing my best to avoid the road kill and eye contact
with the people in the cars and trucks as they whizzed
by me I gathered maybe a peck or more of black walnuts in 
the shell after I had shucked them all.
It gives me an odd feeling when I gather wild food within the
confines of a town.
It feels a bit like I was stealing, or dumptster diving.
I can feel the eyes on me as I fill my bag with free food.
I've picked Shaggy Mane mushrooms in parking lots.
Morels in peoples yards. :-)
Asparagus along the roadside.
I veer I guess... and I'm off topic.
I did have a question.
Which is....
Has any one on the list ever used black walnuts and chile in
any form in a recipe?
My first stop with this delicious nut is going to be banana
nut bread with a little whipped cream...and then maybe some
sticky cinnamon rolls with brown sugar and orange and black walnuts
but I am willing to listen to others. ;-)
