[CH] Raw Tomatillos

My experience with these guys is strictly in Mexico and Mexican recipes,
where they are usually if not always roasted, peeled, and crushed/processed
for some form of salsa verde.  May I ask if eating them raw (in salads?
sliced for a snack?  like an apple?) is common in some ethnic cuisine?

Thanks

We eat them raw about 90% of the time.  The only time we used cooked ones is
in winter.  We don't peel them, either.
