What are high bush cranberries?

Hopefully not buffalo chips.

As a kid I remember the local shops that fresh roast peanuts also roasting pine nuts (pine cone seeds). Use to really like them. Now they're hard to find and never fresh roasted.

Living in Rome, Italy as a kid we would wait for the pine cones to drop from the old pines in the various park areas. They would hit and almost explode, scattering their pine nuts (Nature's distribution). They would stain your hands with their black pitch/resin. They had a distinct taste, unlike the so-called "pinoli" one finds these days, primarily from China.

In my area by the time a pine cone hits the ground it is mostly chewed up by the squirrels. Finding loose seeds or seeds still in a cone is rare. The squirrels here are like locust and devour every thing in their path.
