Joi Ito's Takenoko HOWTO

By at 5:41 pm Tuesday, May 3

Joi Ito has posted a neat photo set documenting the process of hunting, unearthing, prepping, and cooking bamboo shoots. They're called takenoko in Japanese, and they're mighty delicioso. "It's nearing the end of the season," he says, "but there were still enough in our backyard for a few meals' worth." Gosh, they look tempting. I wish I could subscribe to a bowlful by RSS.
Link to Flickr set, and link to Joi's 2004 blog entry with more HOWTO narrative.
