Apparently tomatillo is a type of these. Tomatillo sauce is the green salsa I see a lot on Mexican dishes. Good stuff, highly recommended

I'm In South Carolina, U.S and I call them ground cherries, though I've heard others around here call them goldenberries

Physalis is how ive always known it but i recently found out that tomatillos are a related species, used in a bunch of Mexican dishes.

You forgot delicious. Easily one of my favorite fruits.

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah it's pretty good, it kinda similar to cherry tomato but better

the gooseberry I recently had tasted like a mix of a tomato and an orange, it's a very peculiar flavor and even that description I feel doesn't quite match what I tasted

Not sure if it's the same thing but we call it lantern fruit because it looks like chinese lantern
