> I did have gooseberries, and they're the same genus and work fine.
Did you mean family? Gooseberries and tomatillos are different genuses, though the same solanaceae family. With that said, this is an interesting observation, and now I want to do a side-by-side comparison between tomatillos and gooseberries.
You are of course correct. And to straighten another record, it was specifically cape gooseberries I used (they're not called either here), which might be relevant to your future comparisons.
