Or rather, do the flat ones differ in any way other than shape? Mrs D has been buying them but I haven't had one yet. I'm not much of a one for fruit.

My local supermarket started selling them a while ago and I probably tend to buy them in preference to the round ones now. They don't taste different but they ripen all the way through more evenly I think. With the round ones, sometimes the outer flesh is ripe whilst the flesh near the stone is still slightly hard and sour. And they're much easier to eat with your fingers. |

They are easier to eat, I agree. And they often taste better, though you get the odd floury one just like with the round ones.

I was disappointed when I first had one as I was expecting them to taste of doughnuts...

I'll have to re-visit flat peaches. I have tried them before and found them very dry compared to a nice juicy "round" peach.

Talking of peaches, we used to make this recipie from Tony & Georgio's book whenever we got any sunshine... Rarely has so little work been rewarded with so much flavour. Of course, you can use an Italian red wine, but I find it works just as well with a good Pinot Noir or a New World Merlot. 1 bottle of good fruity red wine 6 large, slightly underripe peaches, halved and stoned 50g/2oz caster sugar Slice the peaches thinly. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with sugar and pour over wine. Leave overnight in the fridge. Bring to room temperature for two hours before serving. Eat, ladled into wine glasses, on a sunny day. |
