筍が収穫された。

例年、春の味覚として気になってしまう。

焼き筍*や筍御飯*と、ここでも留まることなく、つらつらと。

その理由は、竹かんむりに旬と書いて「筍」と書くよう、

“竹の子”としていられる食用期間が短いせいもあるだろう。

長い冬を待ち、ようやく収穫した春の食材は、

ふきのとうや山菜同様、旬は短く、下処理まである。

肝心な味には、独特な癖までついてくる。

なんて皮肉な食材！

だから気になってしまうのかな、春。

Bamboo shoot

It is worrisome with irony in spring. 

The bamboo shoot was harvested.
I will always be worried as the taste in spring.
I am using the report also here.
A baked bamboo shoot* and rice cooked with bamboo shoots*.

The character of Japan of a bamboo shoot is written combining a “bamboo” and a “season.”
A “bamboo shoot” means “the child of a bamboo.”
That will be because the edible period is short.

The spring foods which we waited for a long winter and gathered a harvest have Japanese butterbur and wild grass.
These have a short period eaten and we have to do cooking special to that for eating.
And there is the peculiar taste in these.
They are very ironical foods!
Therefore, will I be worried in spring?
