There are oak trees with edible acorns. The description for Quercus
garryana (Oregon White Oak) reads as follows:

Good for zones US 7 - 9. Rounded, deciduous tree with cracked, pale gray
bark. Glossy, dark green leaves. Bears sweet, edible acorns. Mature tree
can reach 30 ft tall and spread to 30 ft wide. Native to Western North
America.

I have two growing in 5 gallon buckets but they are only two foot tall so I
won't be able to vouch for the taste any time soon. Perhaps someone from
the Northwest US will chime in here.

PS. For those interested, I bought my seeds from seedman.com two years ago.
