I have grown some of these from seed this year and am just planting them out now they are several inches tall.
Anyone grown them before ...? any advice?  They seem to grow in similar manner to tomatoes... presume they will need staking?

I've only eaten them.  This restaurant in Mexico City served tortilla chips as a starter with green salsa (tomatillo, cilantro, onion, garlic, epazote (I think) and goodness knows what else).  It was bl**dy lovely.

I'm giving them a go this year, but my first lot were wiped out in a slug fest in April. My second sowing are only just showing their first true leaves.

Thanks for that Steampig... mine are growing well just planted out this last weekend... they seem to grown stronger that Tomatoes here... had some spare so potted them up in the garden so will compare how well these do compared to allotment grown ones.
