Kris,
I saw one of these, for the first time, at a grocery store this weekend.
Kind of weird that I had never heard of them before this weekend and now
here is a second reference in less than a week. The ones I saw were sort of
egg shaped, with the stem coming out of the 'fat' end of the 'egg' shape.
It had a smooth skin and was a red plum color. I was very tempted to buy
one to take home to try, but decided against it. Now I wish more than ever
that I had. I will probably go back, now, and see if they are still there.
Anybody else out there heard and/or tried these? What are they like and
what else can they be used for?

Oh.... It's just a matter of definition. The lady at my local
"ethnic" store always looks at me when I buy some hot sauce and says
"Ketchup?" (nudge, nudge - wink, wink)
Latest gem is the "Ole Hot'n'Fruity Pajarito Pepper Sauce" from
Ecuador, http://www.especiesexoticas.com/
Very nice lingering heat and balanced sweetness. Includes 'hot
peppers', tree tomato, coriander, ginger and passion fruit... Now,
what the heck is "tree tomato"?
