Does This Look Peruvian?

Believe it or not, both peanuts and cape gooseberries originate in Peru. Cape gooseberries are small berries with a slightly nutty flavor that come encased in a thin papery husk. They go by a variety of names: husk cherries, husk tomatoes, strawberry tomatoes, and ground cherries, just to name a few. Our personal favorite is their Chilean moniker, "bolsa de amor", or bag of love, which is really what they taste like. Anyway, peanut butter on sprouted toast with cape gooseberries is a great way to start the day, and pays homage to the origin of some of our favorite foods.
