I think they are related to the tomatillo. They came with our vegetable share, not our fruit share, and they taste faintly of tomato. Only they are very sweet, like a strawberry. And they are tender and juicy like a berry, but with this wonderful crispy center I can only compare to the center of a Kit Kat bar. And they are each wrapped in a thin papery husk that you have to peel open before you can get to the fruit inside. It's as if the plant grew a flower, the flower blossomed and then closed it's petals and sealed them shut, then grew a berry inside as the petals dried up. It sounds really weird, but THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS. I nearly cried when I ate the last one.
We ate them plain and we also threw them in a salad. We had two cups full and they were spectacular.
This is a personal online journal. It's safe to bet that everything I've written here has been embellished until it's nothing more than a rambling of my bizarre imagination. Especially if it sounds like it's about my job, then you can be absolutely sure it is a work of fiction. Either which way, opinions expressed by me on this site are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the opinions and positions of my employer.

I'm married to a handsome brainiac who finds most of what I write online to be mildly embarrassing. We have two dogs, two cats, and a python named after the devil. We spend most of our spare time vacuuming. I write at http://www.aseriousgirl.com/
