I tried to cook takenoko once ... our Nihonjin friends gave us a chunk as a special gift, with the comment ..."It is very easy to prepare. Just peel off the outer layer and boil it all day." ... "Then peel it again, cut it into chunks, and cook it some more." ... "Then cut it into smaller pieces and THEN it will be ready to prepare however you want it for the dish you have chosen." Whew. For me, "easy to prepare" would mean " peel it, cook it, and eat it!" Great shot.
