Anyone tried cooking bamboo shoots from the garden? My Phyllostachys
aureosulcata spectablis is throwing up some very juicy looking shoots at the
moment. Wondered if anyone could recommend at what stage they should best
be cropped and how to prepare them.

Not tried it myself but found this:

I usually eat the tinned ones :~)
