It looks like corn at first glance. A bit of a process though but I am sure it will be easy now that you know how. Great post! It looks like corn at first glance.

The chopping goes so fast, you can have the shoot in a pot in five minutes. It also reminded me of white asparagus, which also can't touch the sunlight before its harvested and is more tender because of it. Yes, Linda, it's a lot easier to buy a tin, and I loved the tinned stuff when I was a kid, because that was all I knew. But the flavors of the fresh bamboo shoot are so much more delicate. I'm really bad at explaining flavors, but the same harsh flavors of the canned stuff is toned down with a very gentle note, and when you bite it you get a good crunch. I love this stuff.

Great that you could get your hand on some cheap ones. Did they taste the same as the tinned ones or were they better? Isn’t it just easier to buy a tin ;) just kidding!

Sounds like quite a process. The way the shoot is grown and harvested reminds me of white asparagus and the look of the prep process a little like artichoke hearts. Very impressive. Wow.
