Tomatillos are like a green tomato and tart. They are used quite a bit to make salsa and hot sauces and you can pickle them. The green ones are very prolific  [at least  they are in the USA] and the plants grow fast. A lot of the fruit will lie on the ground and the husk helps keep them from rotting. There is  a purple varietyas well,   Also I hear that if you grow them you won't need to plant next year  as they self seed.  I brought my seeds back from a visit to Denver  last year but I think you can get them from seed catalogues in the UK,  I seem to recall a mention of them in an article  in The Times.  This is my first year as a sqft  gardener or any veggies at all and I am just amazed at the whole thing!
