Whoa, that threw me for a loop!!! We are playing musical chairs with the threads. First its there- then its here. Oh well. I was not sure this belonged in the tomatillos thread or in the genral discussion.
I am still not sure-- these things don't taste like regular tomatillos.
Anyway I went to the farmer that grew the original batch and asked him what variety it was. He was very kind enough to tell me. Its goldie from Jonny seed
here is the link

The description is very accurate- just like I would describe it. sweet and earthy
Just one more point-- Jonny seed does not list them under tomatillos. So maybe they should't be under this thread either.
Anyway --it is sure sweet.
Carolyn-- I love to have conversations with you on tomatoes- but if there is one thing I have figured out after two to thre years on this board-- My tastes are different than yours.
