I want to grow them in my garden, but I’ve never heard of anyone else doing that. Why?
Well I’ve never heard of a tomatillo, but if they’re anything like armadillos, as the name suggests, I can think of a few reasons people don’t plant them.
Well I’ve never heard of a cape gooseberry, but if they’re anything like the geese I see at the park, as the name suggests, I can think of a few reasons people don’t plant them.
Well if they’re anything like the tomatoes that I’ve seen, I can’t think of any reason why people don’t plant them.
Wait, so why don’t you just plant tomatoes?
Possibly because they don’t grow well where you live.
Any decent seed catalog has tomatillo seeds. One of my favorite seed catalogs says they should be planted in pairs for best pollination and performance.
And they grow in a husk
So it’s like corn?
Because they’re nightshades
RebYidd23,
I want to grow them in my garden, but I’ve never heard of anyone else doing that. Why?
Because most hobbyist gardeners plant things that they eat, and tomatillos are not typically eaten or found in grocery stores in most of the U.S.
RebYidd23,
What do U.S. residents have against tomatillos?
Unfamiliar and unwanted are not the same thing.
Because their sugar content is too low and you can’t make any wine or alcoholic beverage from them.
(Those little husks look cute though. Kind of like a little tomato in a Purim costume.)
Why are tomatillos overlooked? Simple:- Because they really don’t taste good.
golfer, do you make tomato wine?
AFAIK, I’ve never eaten a tomatillo.
Maybe in the US they are overlooked because we don’t want to hurt them.
Someone at my register bought tomatillo’s today i was thinking of this thread.
Quick, what’s the code?
I don’t know that one by heart had to look it up.
I just remembered that I once went to a simcha and on the plate with the dessert there was this little thing that looked like a tomato wrapped in leaves.
Obviously I did not eat it.
The Goq: Was it a CR poster that bought them?
Meno: Given the chance again, would you at least look at the tomatillos?
…..Btw how do I know if I have seen one IRL?
I did look at them. I actually thought they were very cute.
That was so kind of you!
Too cute to consume
Lb I don’t think many Mexican’s read the cr.
Too cute to consume
That’s not why I didn’t eat them.
I didn’t eat them because they looked like little tomatoes, and tomatoes aren’t dessert
Marrano
They should have made an announcement, or at least put a note on the plate.
I might have eaten it.
And if they were all around then they’re likely mulberries
Was there a weasel around?
Next time Meno. Next time.
Popa goes the weasel.
