This is good news about the canned shoots. I’ve tried growing bamboo for the shoots, with no success so far, so I’m happy to hear I can fall back on canned bamboo shoots with no foodie guilt.

I’m thrilled to see a recipe that uses chicken gizzards too. I love chicken gizzards, but I don’t know what to do with them, so I just eat them. Of course, that would have to be a secret ingredient when cooking for picky eaters like I do.

I love bamboo shoots! I have never seen them this way though. I always buy them shredded either in a can or in the cold section of the grocery, soaked in water. Thanks for the enlightenment, Connie!

I didn’t have any success on canned bamboo shoots; and I think I have commented before on your other post that the ones I bought from a huge “watered” tray in a Vietnamese store tasted and smell “panis”. I don’t know if came frozen from huge containers and was defrosted prior to selling.. but I tried not only twice.. and the unsettling aroma is still there.

And so when I found fresh (pero luma na) ones last month, I bought them (kahit na mahal), and cooked it with ginataang galunggong. Sarap talaga. I looked for some, pero weeks after wala na silang itininda.

I am coming back home this May and bamboo shoots is one of my exciting veggies to eat – - ginataang pusit, chopsuey, or even with ginisa with Ligo. Yummy…
