Taknoko Time!

my cousin that lives in the countryside of kyoto went digging for baby bamboo on the mountain in his backyard. his mom sent some of them to us city folk. good thing mom was here cuz i wouldn't know what to do with that. check out the size of this baby:


first you boil it:


then you peel it:



see: you don't actually get to eat that much of it:


it's still pretty big though:


mom chops them up:


and slow cooks it in the pot:


tasty stuff! but there was SO much of it that i was sick of it after eating it for several days . . .
