Life is just peachy

peasant

Just had two peaches of total and utter perfection.

Still firm to the touch, yet melting in my mouth, sweet, juicy, dripping perfection.

Life can be good sometimes.

Flat or round and where did you get them? I love searching for good fruit!

Hairy peaches?

round, Lidl, a week ago

He said perfect peaches so they must have been round

Flat ones just aren’t as nice or juicy.

I wonder where the best peaches in Ireland are!

There is a grocer around the back of us that has such good fruit.

We only have flat peaches right now.

They were put there by a man

oh you are so WRONG!!

The fuzzy flat doughnut peaches just drip the honeyed goodness. And they are easier to eat, too.

(but for purest fruitful perfection, the king, queen and epitome of celestial fruits is a perfect mango)

There is also a market on the weekends in a park just by us that has an organic market. Gonna try and get some peaches there.

Have you ever tried a grilled peach with some yoghurt? Its like burnt orange. So good.

I thought it would be a cool idea to put some fruit in the pot of an orchid on the kitchen table that was a moving-in gift. Well, the orchid died. The peaches killed it. It turns out, peaches (and all fruits, I think) emit a gas, ethyne, which wilts flowers.

Wow, I sure do tell exciting stories.

I prefer nectarines myself. No fuzz. Easier to eat out.

Ethylene. I think it's something of a plant hormone. Some fruits emit more...bananas and apples, for example. Want to ripen fruit faster? Stick it in a paper bag with bananas or apples.

Last time I had a peach, my face broke out in a burning rash. Which was unpleasant.

nothing nicer than a peachy arse on a young wan alright.

And they didn't go off? Find them very hit and miss with fruit.

Aren't Nectarines just Brazilian peaches.

Brazilian peaches have some hair.

Tesco do a 6 pack of doughnut peaches for €1. They're lovely. Their pineapple on the other hand went in the bin this morning because it never ripened and when I cut into it this morning, it was going mouldy yet was still hard. Horrible. Aldi do lovely pineapples, but you do have to eat them within a couple of days.

That is actually really interesting to me!

That means they are really fresh though.

Exactly. A friend of mine was a fruit and veg manager in Dunnes and he said people shopping there would often comment to him about Aldi fruit and veg gone off very fast. As he said to me, that's a good sign because it means that it's not sprayed with every pesticide under the sun.

I find that some of their bread doesn't last too long either.
Again, probably a good sign

I'm not too sure about that... I find when I make home made bread, using just flour, water, yeast and a pinch of salt, .. it lasts far far longer then all shop bought pans.

I stated making my own when a chef on the tv listed all the ingredients that go into mass produced bread, stabilisers and the like that he said are required to stop interaction between all the other ingredients that you simply don't need to make fresh bread in the first place. The additional ingredients are there to facilitate an engineered manufacturing process that churns out loaves at high capacity, for low cost. (Chorleywood Process, developed in the early 60's).

For whatever reason, I find home made bread using a handful of natural ingredients, lasts longer than shop bought made with the addition of preservatives, stabilisers, emulsifiers and enzymes.

I make my own brown or soda bread, but generally pick up a sliced white for toast and the Aldi one seems to start growing mould faster than Tesco's or any of the branded ones.
