Inspiring post. There's a bamboo forest, 10 minutes walking from my current place. I plan to go over there, late this afternoon/early evening to ~see if I can~~ forage some baby bamboo.
Looking forward to turning it into dinner and energizing my body and mind ;<)

Hey buddy! This is great news you also have a local forest. I wish you all the best on your 'hunting' and feel sure you will do something amazing with it in the kitchen. As for energising the body & mind there is no question that eating local food does something very special for us in this department. Especially organic and growing naturally in the wild. Local plants know our local requirements basically. Big love 🌟
Great to see how well this post of yours is doing. People are waking up, it seems ✨
I picked 3 bamboo babies/shoots this morning.
They are way greener than yours though.
I plan to prepare them for dinner, tonight, but first I will be chilling at the nearby river beach, now it's still dry and sunny. Thunder and rainy weather are returning tomorrow, it seems.
Sending energy, love and creative vibes ✨
How was it? Don't think the colour matters too much as this likely just reflects how much light they get.
Yes, most grateful for the high payout on this one and indeed a bit surprised due to the sensitive nature of my closing thoughts. Perhaps like you say, people are waking up and hopefully taking action to make themselves more independent from a system which cannot be relied upon.
Same here with the rainy weather. What a great wet Spring this has been! No need to build any cloud busters yet...
In all honesty, my bamboo tasted toxic or at least so extremely bitter that I had to spit it out, even after an hour and a half of cooking it and after marinating it. It almost made me throw up and I had to burp for a while, so I decided to not risk it after maybe having swallowed two of the tiniest pieces that I had added to my dinner.
Unfortunate but perhaps I am not blessed with the right type of bamboo here.
Ah! Am sorry to hear this and quite surprised. Had no idea there were inedible varieties.
Well, we live and learn! Thank you for reporting back with the info 🙏
I shared a bit more info on my bamboo eating in the comment section to this post: https://peakd.com/hive-151327/@ewkaw/fungifriday-dont-get-fooled#@vincentnijman/re-ewkaw-2024619t153457533z
Thanks Vincent. I think you did the right thing listening to your body and not eating it. Guess we were just lucky with ours as the taste really was so good.
