Did you mean family? Gooseberries and tomatillos are different genuses, though the same solanaceae family. With that said, this is an interesting observation, and now I want to do a side-by-side comparison between tomatillos and gooseberries.
- croon 5y agoYou are of course correct. And to straighten another record, it was specifically cape gooseberries I used (they're not called either here), which might be relevant to your future comparisons.
- genocidicbunny 5y agoAh, yes, cape gooseberries are indeed closer, so I can see the comparison better now.
- FerociousTimes 5y agoGooseberries are basically glorified cherry tomatoes. Nothing really fancy about them.
