As a kid I used to eat zongzi wrapped in shells of bamboo shoots

Do you have that sort of zongzi in your hometown? At that time, before Dragon Boat Festival, villagers would go to the mottled bamboo forest to pick up the shells to make zongzi. The fragrance of bamboo shoots and sweetness of glutinous rice are wrapped together with a touch of alkali flavor. Dip it in sugar or drizzle with hot brown sugar syrup… I still haven’t outgrown that festive taste.
