Lidl often sell solanum muricatum plants (Pepinos) they produce edible fruits but for some reason Lidl always refers to them as ornamentals.

Thanks thats the one. I thought it looked like a picture that i've seen recently of the fruit but wasn't sure as i've never seen one in the leaf so to speak :) What really throw me was that it said you can't eat it.
