The first and last Sungold I've ever tried had a weird wild, sweet, rank, musky something and out it went. I wonder if ground cherries have that same wild rank sweet thing going on? If I ever see the fruit for sale I'd buy a couple of them to test them.
The closest thing I can compare a ground cherry to is tomato crossed with a sweet pineapple. At least that is how the wild ground cherries come out near where I live.
