It's always something good.<br/><br/>We get dao miu ("dow mew")? here fairly regularly - delicious. My first intro to it was through a client who was first gen Mexican American...we had some great times together training execs in South America, both of us with a handful of Spanish words and phrases...

The shoots are amazing to watch grow (and you <i>can</i> watch them grow) but we've never been ambitious enough to farm them. They do smell yummy when you break the young ones off at ground level in a useless attempt to train them back.<br/><br/>The "cleaning them fresh, right now" moment we had was with pea shoots and leaves (wow, what animal does that?), one of the tastiest dishes I've ever had and I wish I could grow them or find which one of the many Asian markets in town carried them.
