The Saarlander who ate bamboo

Bamboo grows wildly on our terrasse, undeterred by snow. A couple weeks ago I tasted bamboo shoots for the first time in a Thai restaurant here in Saarbrücken called (natürlich) the Bambus Garden.

Today I read more about bamboo and natural valves and lightweight structures. I found this interesting website with more than you ever wanted to know about grass families.

Tonight I slayed the last of the cabbage in Caribbean Shrimp Soup. The Cabbage that Ate Saarland is dead - long live the cabbage!
