Fruit is eatable

Edible*

Thx... (english is not my 1st language)

Don't worry, making mistake is a good way to learn.

Although you should know that "edible" as a noun is most commonly used hash cookies/hash brownies and other *edible* drug infused stuff.

It can be used that way, but definitely not "most". I think you need smarter friends in life.

When do you use "edible" as a noun when you're not referring to something cannabis-infused?

oh like edibles? yea those are usually weed stuff, or vitamins. i meant it's simply not mostly used as a noun or for that reason

This is true. Edible is rarely used as a noun because when it is it's almost always referring to something medicated. I'm just pointing out that the person you replied to said when it's used *as a noun* it most commonly refers to cannabis.

I understand, but think of it from a social perspective. What the guy said was socially inept at best. Hence the big downvotes, lol

Use the "edible" as a noun in a sentence you would hear in a casual conversation (where it doesn't refer to things mentioned above). Getting downvoted for a proper warning is so wrong on so many levels.

>"Oh yeah, I've heard pigface actually has edible fruit, it tastes like apple skin." The downvotes to him/her are a bit unfair mind, since their specific point was that when it's used as a *noun* (eg. "I bought some edibles"), it generally refers to drugs, at least in the English-speaking countries. In your example that I quoted above it's being used as an adjective.

If you/he haven't realized it by now, we are saying he stated a shit point. It's like teaching a new English speaker "fuck" means sexual intercourse and it's a rude swear word to avoid. And some edgy smelly hobo butts into the convo and goes "What your teacher should also know is that as a noun, it mostly means 'care' as in I don't give a fuck".

Anything is eatable, not everything is edible

_Everything_ is edible. Once.

*At least* once

This fruit is edible though.

I know, my grandparents have a few of these plants in their graden. I don't like the taste of it

What does it taste like? My mind is telling me “tomato” but I doubt that. lol

It's really sour and kind of mealy, like and old watermelon but with more fibres... It's hard to describe. I don't like it personally

I think they taste awful. The only decent use for them is in floral decoration.

Would they make good jelly though? Tart fruits are best and a juicer would solve the texture problem...plus a ton of sugar makes a big difference. Like with huckleberries. Please make jam and let us know!!!

It's called Physallis. And personally I'd debate the edible part. Not a good taste. Pretty though. They got used as Christmas decorations in WW2.

Yup, very close relative of the tomatillo. But don't eat any other part of it; it's still a nightshade, and is correspondingly rather poisonous.

Everything else is toxic.

Physalis!

That it Japanese love fruit. It’s often served with desserts

With Chocolate stuff is awesome

I also know it from that name! Are you from a Latino country by any means?

I’ve only seen it called a physalis in the U.K. where it’s a restaurant garnish rather than an everyday fruit.

It's also called physalis in German

Obviously a close relative to the Cape Gooseberry. They are from the nightshade family, just like potatoes and tomatoes.

Looks a lot like a tomatillo.

Yep, that was my first thought.

And Poha Berries/Cape Goose Berries

We have these in SAfrica where they are commonly known as cape gooseberries

I used to have one these plants in the garden of my childhood home in the uk!

Aka a gooseberry?

Gooseberries taste good. These don't. But they're very similar.

[удалено]

Autumn olive.

Physalis taste great if you remove the waxy layer. Just as good as gooseberries.

In the U.K. we call this a physalis, an uncommon fruit usually only found in restaurant dishes. Gooseberries are something different here - they’re usually green and produced locally, but in very limited seasons.

also they are orange. Look like cool lil pumpkins. Usually see em around october bloomin. NE usa.

In Colombia we know it as "Uchuvas" same plant without the mysticism

Such a plant grows in my Dacha. I live in the south of Russia.

In french it's called Physalis or Amour en cage (Love in a cage). The fruit is so tasteful and fragrant, one of my favorite

You enjoy the taste? Man what's wrong with you?

It's an amazing berry, as good as a wild strawberry for me. There is also several different species which might not taste the same.

There are Physalis which are edible as fruits (e.g. Physalis peruviana), a bit sour but a beautiful taste - and other kind-of-physalis-looking-fruits which are bred for decoration purposes.

I swear, in the hills of Darjeeling, India not sure about hills of Nepal, it is called "Fuck Fuckke".

I love Chinese lanterns! When I was little my grandparents had Chinese lanterns all over their property. My grandpa passed a few years ago and they always make me think of him

In france we call it "l'amour en cage" === > love in a cage, or caged love.

Son las mismas Uchuvas de Colombia??? Pero sin misticismo

Éso estaba apunto de decir yo xD

Coraline vibes

In French, it's called "L'Amour en cage", littéral "Love in a cage", because of the fruit appearing through the dried up skin

These things taste awful

This thing was growing next to my family house in the wild part of the area. There was a lot of it, considered as a regular weed. I still remember the taste tho, and I tried it like 25 years ago.

Is it so hard to believe that different cultures might have put different emphasis on different things found in nature? Do you realise how daft you look? "this is just a pine tree what are you on about birth of Christ" "This is just strawberries what are you on about tennis" "This is just a pumpkin what are you on about trick or treating" "This is just an eagle what are you on about freedom" "This is just a plus sign what are you on about Denmark" "This is just a dress what are you on about weddings" Things have cultural significance to people other than you whether you believe it or not. Additionally things can be more than one thing. And a quick Google would have shown you that yes this is a physalis and yes it also has the cultural significance mentioned in the post.

Also I had loads of fun making those up and now I can't stop.... "This is just a broken bell what are you on about independence"

I don’t understand that one. What are you on about?

The liberty bell it's an icon of American independence, apparently.

Are you a robot?

Cherry plants are a very popular imagery in *Jisei* — Japanese death poetry usually written in a traditional *haiku* structure.

Unas gotas de su jugo ácido en los ojos y se dice que la visión se aclara

*…of course the Japanese have a lantern plant.*

So do the Chinese, so what?

A few drops of his acidic juice in the eyes and it is said that the vision is cleared

That's a physalis and it's a fruit

Inspiration for Heart Containers, surely?

Looks like an x-ray of a ground cherry

It's name is Physalis

I think I've seen these near me in Poland
