I grew them a few years ago, didn't know you could eat them, they even came up in the lawn, have seen them in Tesco and thought of having a go again, are they the same Physallis?

Hang on!  There are two plants known as Physalis.  One, which tends to be known a Cape Gooseberry or Tomatillo, is edible.  The other, called Chinese Lanterns, is an ornamental variety.
