1945 translation by H. Rackham Beech-mast fed to pigs livens them up, and makes their flesh easy to cook and light and digestible; whereas the acorns of the holm-oak make a pig thin, nota glossy, meagre. Acorns from the common oak make it heavy and lumpish, being themselves also the largest of nuts and the sweetest in flavour.
