Bamboo makes good fajitas?

The other night we lit the fire pit that our good friend Mr. Luce made for us out of scrap metal at work (what a handy friend to have) and sat around and drank some wine. It was lovely. Well, then Mr. Lush decided to put some dried bamboo on the fire. Why do we have bamboo you ask? Our neighbors planted bamboo a few years ago and it of course has spread to our yard. For those of you that don't know, bamboo is harder to kill than a bad 80's haircut. The roots grow 4 + feet underground and have a lot to live for I guess because there just ain't no killin them. Occasionally Mr. Lush trims it and it has sort of become like privacy foliage. Well, said trimmed pieces became the dried bamboo we burned. Anyway, I digress.....

Bamboo flares up and burns quickly and smells like.....cumin. It took me a minute to put my finger on it, but it really does. I'm thinking of maybe throwing some on next time we're grilling chicken and maybe make fajitas! I don't know if it will work, but its funny to think about....
