Let's have a physalis each.

Thank you.

What is it, like a fruit or a- Physalis.

Yes, it's a fruit.

A Chin- like a Chinese lantern.

Yes, coulis.

What was that, um, that, uh, fruit again? Physalis everywhere.

Everywhere.

I remember working at Klee because when I first started, and I think it was on half of our cocktail.

So it's, it's used sometimes in therapy, but it is a gardening term really called physalis.

So it's spelled P-H-Y-S-A-L-I-S. Um, and what physalis means in gardening is if you put a bulb in the soil the wrong way round so that the shoot is at the bottom and not the top, many of those bulbs won't succeed.

They won't take plant.

But some exhibit this quality called physalis, which is, it's like an optimism and a, and a, and a creativity almost, that they will go the long way round and, you know, fight and fight and fight to get to the surface of the, of the shoot.

We've never talked about tomatillos, actually.

Obviously related to tomatoes, but also Physalis, so really great for making salsas.

Mm.

You can grow green ones, purple ones.
