Calling all food nerds (Monday, 2010 October 18)

Here is a fruit that I want to know more about:

It grows in these little pockets, and you sort of pinch the pockets to make the things come out.

Inside it looks like this:

The locals call them "cerise" which means "cherry", but it seems to be acknowledged that there is another fruit that is really called "cerise" and the name just got appropriated for this fruit too.

It is sweet and spicy and delicious. How do you google a fruit?

[P.S. They are called "ground cherries". Thanks Gus!]
