BAMBOO SHOOTS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE
Cousin Louis and my father have become bamboo enthusiasts. Louis has planted his first acre of black bamboo to see how it does as a field crop. It is used as an ornamental and in several developing fiber markets. My father even ordered a special bamboo saw from Japan to trim his ever-expanding collection of bamboo varieties. Bamboo shoots are edible and it is a once-a-year treat to get them freshly sprouted. You can also find fresh bamboo shoots in many Asian markets and specialty produce stands. The ones on the grocery shelf are always at the ready year-round.

BEANS AND BAMBOO SHOOTS
From Nepal, this looks like a fabulous dish for the World Tour. Mustard oil is an extremely hot, pungent oil expressed from mustard seeds and should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for up to about 6 months. It can be used (sparingly because of the heat) in stir fries, salad dressings and marinades. Stone ground prepared mustard could be used as a substitute.
