What do you know about peaches?

Peach, please!

Her best song is good for a wedding dance.

R2 beat me to it. Probably beat a lot of us to it.

They were invented in 1957.

Trump referred to something and said “you can call it peaches”. It wasn’t the stupidest thing he’s ever said, but it was odd.

If I’m not mistaken the German word for peach is a based on old German for “Persian Apple.”

I live in North Carolina and we have some good ones grown in the Sandhills here. There is a farm near me from which I buy them and they are remarkable. A perfectly ripe peach, so juicy it is to be eaten standing over the sink, is one of the best fruits ever.

The grocery store ones are hardly ever good. They don’t ship well so are picked too immature. They also should not be refrigerated until they are very ripe or they will never soften or get sweeter.

There are three types, classified on how they “cling” to their stones, or seeds. In these types they are further classified by crisp or mellow, referring to how soft the ripe flesh is when ripe. The two color types are yellow and white. Yellow are sweeter and “peachy-er”, the white ones are often floral or “prefume-y.” Both are good but for eating out of hand, the white ones are my favorite.

Pickled peaches were a special treat during my childhood. In a spiced, sweet-and-sour syrup, they were canned in the summer for serving with the Christmas ham. When I was living in Germany, I asked my grandmother to send me a few jars so I could share them with my German friends. They didn’t really know what to think about them honestly.

Give a man peaches and he'll make a peach pie, teach a man how to harvest peaches and he'll go hungry.

Archie loves MMM-MMM ... in heavy syrup.

Tim-o-Tay likes them.

You like these Georgia Peaches, your magic can't complete with, I changed the game now say my name, Hi Bitch it's nice to meet ya!

a la creme, they're delicious

Are they native to the old world, or new world?

The old world had the best work animals, but their sweets seem a little boring.

I thought I knew everything about peaches until I saw [italic] Call Me By Your Name. [/italic]

This is not enough peach information. Think harder, people!

Peaches are native to China.

Peaches and nectarines are the same species, even though they are regarded commercially as different fruits. In contrast to peaches, whose fruits present the characteristic fuzz on the skin, nectarines are characterized by the absence of fruit-skin trichomes (fuzzless fruit); it is thought that a mutation in a single gene (MYB25) is responsible for the hair or no-hair difference between the two.

Peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man in a factory downtown,

I like my peaches like I like my men. Smooth

I like to fuck them but the pit cuts my dick tip... any tips?

What else is in the teaches of Peaches?

They grow well in Southern California!

I shave my peaches before I eat them.

She sang the #1 smash hit "REUNITED" with a guy named Herb. My cousin Sandra used to sing it when she would babysit for me.

Peaches are best when picked fully ripe from the tree on a hot summer day, and bitten into so the warm juice runs down your chin.

I'm moving to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches.

R19

Huh.....yeah

Barbra Streisand likes champagne mixed with peach juice.

R26, sounds close to a bellini, except with champagne instead of Prosecco.

I only opened this post to make a PsOTUS comment. Others beat me to it.

Peaches for me.

I was married before

This peach cobbler is perfect!

I don’t want it if it’s gonna be sticky.

Before Peaches, there was "Peaches"

Peaches and vanilla ice cream and whip cream. With nuts!

Is it true multiple streets are named Peachtree in Atlanta?

Scientific name: Prunus persica (Persian plum)

Personally, I prefer nectarines.

ITS NOT ABOUT YOU, R36!

Anyone who's ever grown peaches knows that there is no such thing as a peach ripened on the tree. One day you will test a peach and think "Ahh, tomorrow you're going to be perfect". At that moment, 15 birds keeping watch from the trees overhead start chattering to each other about the race they're going to have that evening to peck at that peach to see who gets the most delicious bite. The next day, you go to find a pit hanging on the tree with little bits of tattered flesh surrounding it. Nope, in real life peaches have to be picked a few days earlier than true ripe. However, they will ripen deliciously indoors in 3 or 4 days, just as if they'd been on the tree. Picking them 2 weeks ahead of time---- that's a recipe for a hard, inedible, mealy peach.

I had a grandfather with a peach tree and I don't remember that he ever shared.

Rare to find good ones... definitely not the nasty canned type.

I really love yours, OP -- and I want to shake your tree!

I had a HUGE one.

I'm a son of a peach.

Does Peaches Christ still perform?

Note that there are no Borises in this thread? It’s because peach trees don’t grow in the tundra.

"I was born in China and raised in Jay-pan, if you don't like my peaches stay away from my can!"

It was my favorite record store.

Peachish.

To get the skin off a peach, immerse it in boiling water for one minute. Then let it cool enough to handle. The skin will slip right off. This technique works best when the peach is ripe.

There’s a convenience store called Lil’ Peach, in Massachusetts.

R49, you can use the same method to skin a tomato.

R51, that's right. I've also heard that you can hold tomatoes over a flame to loosen the skin, though I haven't tried it.

I'm not fond of them myself, except that they do make for good chutney.

It works on humans as well.

I ripen peaches in a paper bag and then mash them into vanilla ice cream. simple and delicious!

I used to take freshly bought and therefore unripened pears to the beach in a plastic bag, or left on the car dashboard, and in both cases, they’d essentially “cook” until eaten later that day, and be perfect. Would that work with peaches? This question for the peach experts, of which we seem to have a few.
