Ground cherries

Here are few pictures of a sumptuous discovery at the market: Ground cherries. I've never tasted these little lovelies before, but after seeing one gentleman at the market with a bag stuffed full of them, I thought I'd give them a go.

You pop the papery casing off and out comes a tiny little cherry-tomato-looking berry. They taste sweet and savory at the same time. Em, Phee and I were downing these babies at the market, walking around the U-District, in the car-by the time we got home there were just a couple of handfuls left. Yum!
