Default Bamboo shoots to cook

The message
from K contains these words:


All I can say is that no bamboo shoots that I have eaten were in any way
similar to asparagus, either in taste or texture. There again, maybe
bamboo shoots taste different in China from the ones that finally make
it, in preserved form, over here.


I have not cooked fresh bamboo shoots but *many* years ago
at school we used to raid the 'bamboo grove' and eat the very
young shoots raw. IIRC they were crunchy with a slightly nutty
taste!

I agree with Kay I do not recall asparagus but it was a very
looooong time ago!
