Barrett--tomatillos are great little critters. I like to use them both raw and cooked and they add a lot of flavor to whatever I put them in.
If you ever get a chance to grow them--they are amazingly prolific, too. A couple of years ago, I planted three of them; only two plants survived, but they produced more little fruits than Zak and I could eat ourselves. It was great.
Once we have our own place with a garden, I'll plant some of the green cousins. It's encouraging to hear they grow well. I can think of things to do with a bumper crop.

They also come in purple, btw.

Purple tomatillas? That sounds great.
