You can eat bamboo shoots?

[kwark]

Ankha gave me a bamboo shoot and she said "a little snack for later".

O_O What?

Then I discovered you CAN actually eat bamboo shoots!

Is that even possible in real life? If you cooked it, maybe.
But raw, you would probably die.

ye u can. i didn't realise this until just 2 weeks ago, lol. you can also stack them like any other fruit lol

i've got no idea if you can eat bamboo irl. probably, since it's a thing in the game lol

Uncooked, dunno. But you can eat cooked bamboo shoots. It is popular in asian dishes.

I knew you could stack them but I had no idea you could eat them in the game!

You can eat bamboo shoots in real life. It's pretty common in dishes across Asia and it is really good. Talking about it is making me crave some.

When I get too many bamboo shoots I just bring a basket to Dr. Shrunk. xD he will eat it (if I only give him one) or keep the basket.. lol

am i the only person who's been eating bamboo shoots in real life before playing acnl? o-o its probably bc im asian and eat weird things haha..

to most people it looks like we're just eating wood or something..in general, you're suppose to peel bamboo shoots before eating them bc there's edible 'food' inside, ive never eaten it with the outside layer still on it but yeah

they need to be boiled before consuming though, so i dont recommend copying what they do in the game..just picking it fresh out the ground and eating it with the toxins still in it, just no

this is generally how it looks when its prepared for eating or cooking into food - https://www.google.com/search?q=bam...ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIy7yi9oXLxwIVSCiICh0L8gT3

I had no idea you could eat them till I saw this going to do this now

 

[Ichigo.]

for some reason, i always thought the option was weird in the game....without realizing i've eaten bamboo shoots irl before. i guess i'm more used to calling them what they're called in my other language that it didn't really click. i hate eating bamboo shoots though, but that's probably because i had a bad experience and got sick once after eating a dish that had some in it.

Bamboo shoots are lovely when you cook them right! I've known you could eat bamboo shoots since forever ago, when I first played Harvest Moon: Back to Nature on the PS1. I'm from an Asian country but we don't cook bamboo shoots as often as other cultures do, but whenever we do have it, it's always delicious! Quite hungry right now huhu

An old friend of mine had me go to his town and dig up his gyroids, fossils, and shoots in order to make room for flowers. I was planning on just running to retail to sell them, but before I could he told me to just eat the shoots so they don't take up room. I always thought they were just a tree/cedar type of plant, but I guess not.

yep, its true! You can also make juice from bamboo too
