Sticky Rice in Bamboo

Why can't we have sticky rice cooked in bamboo back in San Diego?? I guess we would need a fire and a supply of the right kind of bamboo... It's great take out food, just pull over to the side of the road and pick up two sections for $1. Keeps for a couple days and is convenient for eating on trains and boats since it come out of the bamboo (cracked with a machete or mallet) in tubes (with the inner layer of bamboo, your fingers don't get sticky). I had first had bamboo sticky rice in Burma, where they cook it plain and it takes on the slightly nutty flavor of the bamboo. In Thailand they cook it with coconut milk and sugar (of course). Here in Cambodia they cook it with coconut, a few sweet beans and some salt - very nice! I got some for the boat trip tomorrow.
