Ooooh I love wild food foraging. My landlords have been giving me paw paw fruit from the trees in their yard, which taste far too much like a tropical fruit for something that grows in frozen new york.

speaking of anglo saxons and hazel nuts, you've reminded me of a recipe jonathan boakes (an indie game dev) he included in a game about saxon ghost kings. It's a chicken stew called seven bird stew, and has chicken, bacon, mushrooms, garlic, chives, and hazelnuts. Surprisingly delicious!
