I remember this one, but it's not bamboo I don't think?

It would probably be another thread by BOD, if it's not this one.

no, it was a different one, but it was by BOD when my memory does'nt fail me.

a peice of bamboo about 2 inches in diameter cut so that one end is still sealed and the whole length is about 10-12 inches long fill to about 3 inches from the top with rice and then cover with water ,seal the end with leaves and place in the hot embers of a fire for 20-30 minutes . the leaves will allow steam to escape and hey presto cooked rice.

RM did that in Vietnam with his American buddy. He also cooked freshwater shrimp the same way!

Excuse my ignorance but what's "spooking through the tropics" ??? Sounds like fun.

another common way if you have decent sized bamboo is to just split it and use it as a straight pan over the fire on a stand.

gave it a try yesterday evening at the river and beside one slightly burned corner(as i used a piece of bamboo which was chopped down a few days back and which already started drying out) it came out quite nice. only the main course(a.k.a. "fish") was on a diet and kept away from my lines... . uppy_dog
