There seems to be a huge misunderstanding in the usage of bamboo shoot. A bamboo shoot is the edible sprout of a bamboo. This is bamboo shoot, the vast majority of the posts under bamboo shoot are not, they're just bamboo branches or bamboo poles. Bamboo shoots are harvested before the plant matures, once it grows into branches it's not a bamboo shoot anymore, good luck digesting it, you're not a panda.
