In my yard there is a gooseberry. These goosberries, called mayom [มะยม] in Thai, are quite common in Thailand. They are very sour, but still a popular snack as the Thais like to dip fruits (sweet or not) in sugar chili dips. They grow quite abundantly on the tree as shown here is only a small branch.
