So, likely yes :)

I think the supermarket must have thought that I was buying stock for my own store when I first discovered them. I would go in with the intention of buying food for dinner and leave with all my money spent on physalis – yum!

That’s what we call them around here. I used to live on them when I was a kid! Ground or bush…they rock :) They also make really good jam.

Cape gooseberries is familiar.

My mother used carefully-removed leafy bits to decorate a mini tree this Christmas, looked surprisingly tasteful next to some of her other handywork! Not that I’m complaining, Christmas is totally a celebration of cheap plastic everything & very small lights. It’s nice to put good taste to one side for a few weeks.

Got to trying the crispy cale that was mentioned in a comment forum a few posts back, so I’m primarily posting to reinforce the recommendation – very tasty! Did mine with sesame oil & salt, rather than plain oil, salt + chilli. Worked very nicely indeed.

I’m interested to finish downloading this one to watch it as well. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea they made another Documentary about it.
