Room For All

Are flat peaches a special Canadian thing? I don't seem to have seen or tasted them.

Well, two Canadians born and bred have already asked what they are, so I don't think they are a "Canadian thing". Maybe a variety from the Annapolis Valley that Niagara and the Okanagan don't grow?

I just looked them up. The saviour of the peach market, apparently. Round peaches suffer from two marketing deficits: i) they're "too" juicy, and therefore, messy to eat (d'uh!), and ii) they are prone to rotting at the speed of light. Flat peaches are less juicy, less prone to rot. (Also, like "American" strawberries, I'd assume from Mrs. A's comment that the improved version isn't an improvement in taste.)

Flat peaches are less juicy,

But I want my peaches to be juicy.

What the heck is "too juicy" in peaches?

 

[Northwind]

Well I did some homework and this is what I found Donut peaches

Apparently they are not genetically modified and are from China.

I prefer nectarines personally. Juicy ones.

But there's nothing quite as exquisite as a homemade peach pie. With homemade pastry and a lattice crust.

Does the variety matter so much, as long as actually juicy?

 

[BetteTheRed]

Well, the flat pears are designed to be less juicy, so if juicy is what you want in a pie, then...

It sounds like flat pears are natural so not designed. They just happen to be less juicy

Good morning, all! As we continue the discussion about peaches, let us gather round the cart for tea and coffee and et cetera. Maybe someone can provide some round peaches and some flat peaches, and maybe a nectarine or two, and we can do a taste test? Anyway, the cart is rfeady.

Yes, those ones. Both grown here and because we had rain most times when it was needed here, fruits and berries have grown very well.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Any pics of “flat pears” available? Never heard of those.

 

[JayneWonders]

I too love peaches.

Making a peach cheesecake for dessert for tomorrow. Will make one for the room as well.

Are flat peaches deflated Georgia items? Beauties after nightfall that stay on your mind?

Could be the flat out attribute ... like railroading and other efforts with street cars ... just cruising for irrationality and excitement ... the search for the great monster of clarity?

may not be the peach we expected ...

 

[Northwind]

Good morning. We're waking up to a smokey sunrise in Fort Frances. We had a nice visit with a friend last night and will be seeing another friend today. A load of laundry will also be done today

 

[Luce NDs]

Washes are necessary so as to air all things ... and assist in the forgetting and passing it on ... an unconscious function ...

And then we contemplate those with the BS that they know all things ... as some of us mature to the point that we marvel at how little we know given the displaced details ... even deep space being muddied as a mark (stigma)! It may be a sign for the eternal that there's more ...

What's out there goes a long way ... there are items some people would not mention in a closed life ... and imagine if it was all cracked open ... beans everywhere ... just hopping! Maybe the devil coming home to roost with a fiddler ... more crabbing! Vestal virgins wonder as they thrash the fabrics ... wondering they can get through the night as some were entrained in the dark! The implications of pumping up the deflated are storied ... barely speak able ...

Energizer bunnies? Dialogue? O! Nothing to speak of ...

There may be notable diversions in the spectrum ... BPD that got it?

peach cheesecake

Hmmm. Never had a peach cheesecake before. Now I'm intrigued. Always had "berries" like strawberry for them (my uncle, the retired pastry chef, makes a killer cheesecake).

I do have hopes that a killer cheesecake is a part of the abstract and metamorphically imagined so there won't be more for humanity to get stressed over ... folk expressions are deadly ... even fog the brain! Some call this melanosis ... causing blackouts ...

Well, for some of us cheesecake is potentially lethal, but yeah, I had a more metaphorical meaning in mind there.
