Can you e-mail some of those Michigan peaches? : )
Ours come from both the U.S. and South America. What a waste. But they must be selling them or they wouldn’t be importing them.
Maybe Panamanians think peaches taste like that normally as awful as they are in their green state but look ripe.
Not just Panamanians -- everybody. A real, tree ripened peach is just about the best thing you can imagine, but unless you live near the source you never experience it. I get so mad at my husband. He is always buying nectorines (a fuzzless derivative of a peach) in the winter. They look gorgeous and taste awful. He's always fooled by his imagination when he sees the blushing skin of the nectorine and thinks that it is going to be juicy and ripe when he cuts into it. ARRrggghh! If either peaches or nectorines are hard to the touch, just leave them in the market. You are sure to be disappointed, no matter how pretty their skins look. The Michigan peaches should be coming in a week, or so. If I were to head to Georgia and South Carolina now, their wonderful peaches would already be gone and the stands closed. You are making me hungry, Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer) !
