Your Cape Gooseberries look much like the Ground Cherries we found one October in a farmers market at the edge of the lower city of Quebec. We made them into jam. But the name "cape" suggests South Africa. Curious, I had to look them up. Physalis peruviana, it turns out, are native to the highlands of Peru, Ecuador and Columbia, though they are now popular in gardens in many parts of the world... including in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteWe now live in the scorching Sonoran Desert, where we see a close cousin, Physalis philadelphica, the tomatillo native to Mezoamerica. It too has a papery husk and small, shiny, bright green fruit. Very tart, it is often combined with searing hot chile peppers for sauces in Mexican-influenced cookery. It looks like all cookery is "fusion cooking." - Mark
Inspiration, indeed. So much good here. The campfire bread is such an intriguing concept. And I'd definitely like to spend some time in one of Gaudi's Casa Mila kitchens.
ReplyDeleteI see that Mark mentioned the ground cherry/cape gooseberry jam, but we also made pork with ground cherries and maple syrup which was quite nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all your inspirations - I have been enjoying them very much! The Gaudí kitchen was perfect and, like you, never imagined that Shia LaBeouf would have ever been in something so passionate and exquisite! That was a shocker. I have always liked Sigur Rós, but the video was stunning!
Oh, and your photos of the cape gooseberries are gorgeous!
Beautiful! Looking forward to that recipe.
ReplyDeleteMagda, We are growing cape gooseberries in our yard - though they haven't get matured and I have no idea what to do with them. I'd love to hear how your recipe goes.
