Have you ever tasted
The savoury bamboo shoots?
As versatile as nutritious
A staple diet of tribals.
Fresh or fermented
Boiled or fried
Or perhaps dried!
Magic ingredient of tribals.
Once accustomed
You cannot forget
How it tastes
Yet flavor preferences
Can be complex.
Relished for centuries
Native to Shivaliks
Green gold of forests
The savoury bamboo shoots
Are the beloved of Tribals.
