Fruit and Veg are a big part of my life as a vegan! I really love physalis :) especially when they are only £1 in Waitrose! They first came into my life in primary school in a lesson on tropical fruits. This lesson has stayed with me all these years and I hope others have had similar lessons as children. Tropical fruits are a wonderful thing when tried for the the first time as you have no preconceptions of taste, smell etc. When I was little the most exciting fruit supermarkets had were strawberries but now you can buy kumquats, dragon fruit goji berries and many more! But physalis is what I remember being most excited about! The little tent/cocoon/flower/leaf hides a little golden nugget with a sweet yet bitter flavour. On the string they flutter and shimmer even though there is no window open or draught very strange but beautiful!
