Sounds good, I don't think I'll ever give it a try so there's more for you. And don't accidentally die on us. U know since pandas are known for being clumsy suicidal :'(
Actually, you probably have eaten bamboo and don't realize it. A lot of Asian cuisine has strips of bamboo in it, for example. If you ever order takeout Chinese food or Lao food and find thin yellow-ish rectangles in the meal, that is bamboo. Bamboo shoots are very standard.
