Traditionally pressed in large containers by bare feet then weighted down with stones before drying outside on village street. The bag contains bamboo and xue cai, another vegetable particular to the location. Cooking suggestions: soup stock, dipping sauce, steam with fish, or cook between layers of meat, the shoots will soak up the fat & increase in flavour. ferally traded since: 05/08/15.

Boat Ming Lin Shoots made it back to Hong Kong via airplane May 21st (departing from Pudong Airport, arriving at Hong Kong Airport), for soft and brief landing in my own 8-floor-walk-up flat in Jordan, Kowloon (pic attached). Realizing that my personal luggage for traveling three months was quite overstuffed, I took advantage of a friend visiting Hong Kong (Farhaan Mumtaz) to carry half the load back to the UK for me. Therefore, 1/2 kg of bamboo shoots have in fact already made their way to London, arrived May 24th to London Fields, and await my arrival to reunite with remaining shoots which are now, finally in New York, also arrived May 24th. Will let you know when stock has been gathered in London in July. Hope this isn't too confusing! bamboo shoots transit: Yuyao to Feral Trade             freight and handling bamboo shoots to FoAM Earth sponsored by       FERALTRADE products passed by hand. The word 'feral' describes a process that is deliberately wild, as in pigeon, as opposed to nature wild (wolf). Feral Trade freight operates largely outside commercial channels, using the surplus potential of social, cultural and data networks for the distribution of goods. contact kate@feraltrade.org
