Gooseberries

We ran into this little guy for the first time ever recently. Its a gooseberry. At first I just thought it was a flower or something.

The outside had the feel and look of a leaf.
It tore open just like wrapping paper and inside was hiding this little guy. Its smaller than a cherry tomato.
This is what it looks like inside. The fruit lady said it was like a tomato inside and when you bit it, it did have a slight taste like a green tomato but still sweet. A touch bitter and sweet. And Bethany ate as many as we would give her.
After she devoured an entire package (10-12) we wondered if that was a very good idea or if her digestive tract would explode so we made her stop. She finished the rest of the gooseberries the next day when we realized she was OK from the first round.

The fruit just has to be one of the best things about living in the tropics. Watermelon year round and just today I bought something without knowing what it was and it turned out to be something like a white cantaloupe (no photo available and Bethany already ate all that as well).
