Yesterday I was given bamboo shoots and ate them. This is my first time to eat them this year. very good.
In Shikoku from March to April we go into the bamboo grove and dig the bamboo shoots and eat them boiled. Early in March we look for the ones under the ground to dig up and they are soft and especially delicious.
Perhaps Chinese and Koreans eat them in thier dishes. I thought that the season to eat bamboo shoots had come not knowing that.
