Default Ground cherries-WOW

I am not sure this belongs here or in the tomatillos section but I just tasted my first ground cherry tomato (sometimes called a husk cherry). I bought a small half pint from the local farmers market because they looked so interesting. They look like little tomatillos.

I have to say WOW. They tasted like a sweet earthy cross between an orange and a tomato. I never had these things before. Has anyone else tasted these things. I am surprised they don't get mentioned. Easily sweeter than sungold. What a wonderful little gem.

WOW- Is it just this batch? Do other people here have the same experiance with this? Any love for ground cherries out there?
I have to grow these things next year. Any thoughts on where I can score seeds?
