Goes to show how one man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Have you found a way to do more Science topics with your children? The thing that catalysed my fascination with bamboo was how children need to understand various properties of materials: strength, flexibility, transparency, buoyancy, float or sink in water haha

My newfound respect for bamboo

That is dome kind of forest you visited. I'm also quite impressed with the carving. 

Here in the States you can get bamboo shoots in a tin. They already cooked and in some liquid. I've always found them lacking much flavor and only contributing a texture to dishes. I doubt this is their peak use.
