[nappyaddict]

found a nice sounding recipe but don't what these are or where abouts one should find them in the supermarket.

Oh I thought you were Meggle Vache! Tomatillos are supposed to be quite easy to grow, we're doing them this year. Mind you our tomatoes have been rubbish the last 2 years.

meggle where are you? don't think they'd last the journey being posted lol.

I am so pleased I read this thread. For years I have thought that cilantro was American for parsley.

glad to help
