I’m yelling at the screen, “Smell it first!” That’s your first hint at how good the peach is going to be. You should have peach juice running down your arm! ❤
Thank you! 🍑
That peach sounded hard, if it’s ripe, it doesn’t make a crunch when you bite it! The juice should have been pouring out of it.
EXACTLY
yep that one was a couple days off from being peak ripeness. I used to have peach trees in my yard and the squirrels were terrible at eating them before i could. they'd come right up on the front deck and sit in front of my picture window and eat them right in front of me. And yes I'm a Georgian.
That's what I thought, too. If you aren't slurping, smacking, and covered in juice, is it really a peach? Lol
Picking a ripe peach off a tree and eating it in the orchard, with the juice running down your arms is a highlight of summer.
That is the best!
I picked my first peaches a few days ago up here in upstate South Carolina, the real peach state. LOL Mine are extra juicy this year due to the heavy rains so they're not quite as sweet as usual.
Their voting laws are not one of the highlights.
When the peach is the size of a softball!! 😊😊😊
@@veramae4098 Yes, Georgia, especially the Atlanta area, is extremely corrupt.
I had a peach right off the tree in the middle of summer in Tennessee when I was a kid, my head almost exploded it was so good. Still remember vividly to this day.
Same here but in SC. I was 8. Climbed up a short ladder, grabbed the peach off the tree, took a huge bite. It was still warm from being in the sun. Absolute heaven.
Tree ripened is the only way!!!
When I was a kid in Georgia, we had fig trees growing in the yard. I still remember how they tasted, which is something I've never tasted since then. Fresh from the tree is a one-of-a-kind taste.
@@wwilliams4743I had the same experience in Indiana as a child. Peaches right off the tree are delicious. Same goes for blueberries & raspberries. Apples up north in northern Michigan hit different than they do anywhere else for some reason. Beets too.
Here in Arizona we have peach orchards where you can pick your own. I remember eating a number of them while picking. They were delicious and juicy!
I'm a Yankee, I've been in Florida for 35 years..ain't nothing better than sweet Georgia Peaches or Plant City Strawberries...!!!!!!!
Yankee was a term used during the Civil War. Are you still fighting the Civil War? Lol 🤦🏻♀️
@HappyGirl92593 We call people from the North Yankees, and the Yankees call us rednecks. What is your point? They are just words. 🙄
Chilton County Alabama peaches are the best by far.
Let’s get rid of GMO fruit and foods.
Except Michigan peaches .apples..cheeries..strawberries..blueberries .
Georgia here: We're known as the Peach State, but we're not the biggest producers anymore. Georgia is a large producer of peanuts, pecans, and poultry! Anyway, last year the peach crop was a fail due to the weather conditions we had. I'm a basic kind of peach lady; I like the jams & cobbler, but my favorites are peach ice cream, peach iced tea, and peach salsa. Glad you tried Georgia Peaches! 🍑♥️
Omg peach ice cream is the best thing ever
Georgia watermelons are legendary.
Oh! We've become leaders in blueberry production nowadays!
@@lhorne4808 y'all just keep cranking out that fruit because I NEED IT 😆
South Carolina grows more peaches than Georgia . There is a water tower shaped like a peach alongside Interstate 85 in Gaffney S.C. I am somewhat a Georgia person because I lived in Stone Mountain for a couple of years .
When its 97 degrees and 95 % humidity, you'll appreciate that iced tea
AMEN!! 😅
It keeps our skin from looking like leather.
Yes,iced tea, but consider peach iced tea, too.
Ain’t that the truth!?!
Fact
Savannah, Georgia here. You need to have a Peach Cobbler or Peach Ice Cream
Peach Cobbler: yum yum🙂❤️
Both are my favorite!!
I love peach ice cream, but can't find it anywhere in Philly.
@@susanjoyce-yq2mg do you have Chick Fil A? They typically have it there in the summer. But we always made it growing up. That’s the best kind. Chick Fil A is the second best, in my opinion.
@@tracitries9514 Thank you.
I live in England in the south~east. As a child of about 7 years old, my siblings and I were taken by elderly friends to their peach tree in the walled corner of their garden and they picked a large ripe peach for us all to have a bite. It was the most wonderful explosion of flavour and sweetness that I have never forgotten , even though I’m in my late sixties now. No peach I have bought from a shop has ever equalled it!
Same for tomatoes. They are garbage from the grocery store.
Yeah they have to ripen softly. They are one of the best tasting fruit by far.
Tree ripened right off the tree. Anywhere in the world.
My almost*-hard-and-fast rule in the grocery store is: If I'm standing next to a bin of peaches and I don't smell peaches, I'm not buying any of those peaches; however, if I walk into the produce department and smell peaches 🍑🍑😵💫, I will find the bin of peaches 🍑🍑😍, and I will buy some of those peaches 🍑🍑😋. (*Exceptions to the rule include, obviously, peaches that are turning to mush already and/or the presence of a cloud of frult flies.)
@@merriemisfit8406 That’s my rule for strawberries but I have to get my nose up to the container.
Couple of years back I lived in a house that had an orchard that was our landlord's main hobby. You can't beat a peach that ripens on the tree instead of getting picked a bit green for shipping purposes.
Juice running down your chin and all down your arms to your elbows! So sweet and luscious.
That’s true of all fruit!
Michigan here, we also produce a lot of peaches. Climate and soil makes a big difference. Georgia peaches are sweeter as they have a mild climate so they are a better eating peach. We have a colder winter so our are firmer and used more for the canned peaches you see on the shelves (depending on the variety)
Grew up in south Michigan you earned any money you had as a kid picking fruit. The peaches where so good but the fuzz on them made you miserable.
Michigan cherries are the best, anywhere!! Used them in cherry bounce shine. Tremendous!! Love the good patsies too! (You know what I mean) There's the best, then all the rest are just bland.
But we have cherries....the world's finest, no one can top us there.
The blueberries near Lake Michigan off of M-45 on the way to Grand Haven from Grand Rapids are awesome, too.
Love Michigan peaches! We used to go to Treemendus fruit farm every year. 🍑🍑🍑
If you love onions you will never forget a vadalia onion. We would always grab a bag when going through Georgia.
Oh my goodness, I love those onions!
@@ToxicMan2023 well call me a Hillbilly because years ago my East Tennessee boyfriend got me to take a bite. It was so good.
You can bite a Vidalia like an apple. So delicious
Best onions ever!!
Vidalia onions are the best onions in the world
Had an old peach tree right outside our kitchen when I was a kid. We made it a family task to can them every summer so we had peaches all winter long... Cobbler, over ice-cream, on our pancakes. Life was good.
So good.
I do that with my blueberries every year. I only can a couple of jams because friends like it. I freeze so many that I bought another freezer for the blueberries and strawberries. I decided this year if I have a bumper crop, which it’s looking like I will, I’ll invite a handful of my friends over on a good picking day mid summer and let them pick all they want so they can freeze a bunch for themselves.
You were a blessed person. I lived a mile from a peach orchard as a boy and there is nothing like the taste of a fresh peach.
FROG jam is amazing, don't miss it. The name stands for Fig, Raspberry, Orange and Ginger and it's delicious. There's also TOE jam, Tangerine, Orange and Elderberry, which is also good.
FROG and TOE jams--that's hilarious!😂
@@jimgreen5788 I probably wouldn't have thought of it, but as he was scanning along one of the shelves, I saw jars of FROG jam, hoped he'd pick one up. Some of the flavor combinations you find in produce stands are unique.
I learned something new, what FROG & TOE acronyms meanings 😊 They sound delicious 🍑
@@irishpixierose The ginger in the FROG jam gives it a nice zest without being over the top and the TOE jam is tangy. Great on toast or (especially) biscuits.
Remove the ginger (allergic!!) and the rest sounds YUM!
I’m a Georgian gal born and raised in an area surrounded by peach and pecan trees. In the 70’s, when summer rolled around, all the teenagers would go to work at the peach packing plants for extra money. It’s been sad to see the decline but we still have peaches and packing plants. The kids just no longer work there. If you’re ever around Middle GA on I-75, take some time to go to Lane’s. There are a lot of great things to eat and drink. They grow a lot of different things like strawberries. Glad you got a peach in the end.
Lane's is the best!!! Love some Fort Valley! ( Savannah girl in Va now).
LOL I live in Warner Robins. 😊 Small world.
@@ellenpaige3578 I love that whole area. We always traveled through there on the way to see my Grandaddy's people then when ny family ( Navy) went to Texas we came through on visits home so my girls know Lane's now too. And I grew up with friends who had family connections & I had cousins that always ended up there at some point playing baseball. It's a great area & has grown like crazy over the years.
Lanes is a yearly trip for us!
@ellenpaige3578 Me Too! Small World, Lol! I could almost spit on Peach County! It's basically across the street from me. 😊 Lanes is A MUST VISIT if you're in our neck of the woods traveling thru on I-75 Middle Georgia area, as @mariejustme stated! Especially in the summer, as all the good things to eat, drink and enjoy what we're known for is ready to enjoy! I really wish we had all of those Peach Orchards as well as the Pecan Orchards still around today! And don't forget to have some boiled peanuts on your next visit! Middle Georgia truly is the best place to visit, to live and to raise a family! Well, I might be a little bit biased! 🥰
I was blessed to grow up with a mother who loved to grow fruit trees. I grew up with two peach trees, a red apple (sweet) and Granny Smith apples (tart and green) and next door neighbor shared his pears. I loved playing in the yard in summers because any time we got hungry, we could pick a piece of fruit and just keep playing.
I have the same type of memories but it was my Grandparents yard. They had fruit trees, fig, plum, and apricot.
@@Chris-lc4bo I suspect it is likely your grandparents were the same age as my parents. Growing up during the Depression made for hearty adults who made sure their kids/grandkids never missed meals if at all possible.
My roommate says his grandparents lived in Georgia and they would bring back bushels of peaches every trip. The roadside stand was in the middle hundreds of acres of peach trees and everyone who stopped was given a free peach to eat right there. Warm from the sun and bursting with juice he said they were sooooo good your eyes would roll back after the first bite. His grandfather loved to make homemade peach ice cream that my roommate says was a thousand times better than anything you could ever get in a store. I'm jealous.
Yum that sounds so good. You are a good storyteller.!
@@TraciDoering-hw8hu Thank You! Very kind of you.
For brain freeze, run the tongue against the roof of your mouth. It helps normalise the temperature more quickly.
I've never heard that. I wonder if I'll remember that next time I need it.
I wish somebody had told me that 60 years ago. I've spent my entire life just screaming and holding my head. ❤
Thanks never knew that
@@GentleRain21 brain freeze is from the nerve in roof of your mouth getting too cold, so anything to warm that spot up helps, some will rub their tongue back and forth against it, others will take their thumb & press it up against the roof of your mouth (this helps faster as your thumb is warmer, but also dependent on how clean your hands are if you'd want to do this lol)
@@d1zzymisslizzie Yes, thumb to roof of mouth.
Lol i never heard of someone complain that fruit doesn't taste like the candy. Its usually people complaining about how candy tastes artificial 😂 You do you, Sean. Gave me a chuckle
artificial flavors tend to not capture all parts of the taste.
I'm literally yelling at the video, EAT THE PEACH. STOP TALKING! NOOOO! Not the slushy first! You fool! LMAO
Same!
Me too😖
Good movie Eat The Peach.
I was yelling at the video why did she give him that peach of all the peaches she could've given him!!
@@RJYOUNG396
I know, after all, he paid for it with the free advertising he provided for Peach World. They should send him a bushel to Scottland.
At 7:56 it looks like there's some kind of deal going down behind your car. You got the full Georgia experience.
Lmaooo
Omg.
From the crunch and bite, it sounds like that peach may not have been fully ripe enough. A really ripe peach is sooo soft to bite into there is no crunch or snap. That’s when they are THE most delicious. Brain freezes hurt, but thank goodness they are short! Peach cider is my favorite hard cider. Have fun on your trip. A real Georgia peach is worth the wait!! Be safe. Love the accent!!
I was thinking that, too. And no juice. Picked too soon.
White nectarines and white peaches are my favorite. NJ grows them a lot. They're more floral in taste and smell glorious.
As native of the Tampa Bay area myself, let me extend the warmest of welcomes and I hope you both enjoy/ed yourselves to the fullest!
Peach cobbler abd peach ice cream are my favorite peach products. There's nothing better than biting into a fresh peach.
One summer made a trip to a family friends packing plant in South Carolina... peaches were plentiful, and we (the kids) sat on the packing tables and ate peaches until we had sores from the peaches juices on our mouths! It was a GLORIOUS summer!!!
What a delightful memory!
I was in Scotland on vacation last week and love your country and beautiful countryside. The locals were very welcoming. My fav meal was clotted cream, strawberry jam with a scone. Yummy! Did not care for a few standard foods but I’m sure some of the US standard meals would be very strange to you.
I’m looking forward to visiting Scotland again. I live on a farm in southern GA and was enthralled with the farms. Hope you enjoy your visit to US as much I enjoyed Scotland.
peaches and clotted cream....dreamy
I work for a farmer in lower SC. They used to grow peaches but moved on to corn, peanuts and corn. They still have some of their old packing boxes with the logo.
Omg i would LOVE a peach slushie!!! Also i wouldn't have been able to leave without getting a jar of amish peach jam ❤
Georgia has it all! From beaches,islands to mountains. She is home to every branch of the military, including the Coast Gaurd. Home grown Peaches,peacans and even bricks are made in Ga.(red clay). You just missed the second oldest city in America on your drive south to florida. NO, the oldest city in the USA is not Plymouth Massachusetts, which most people think. Nope, It is St.Marys Ga, a little coastal town tucked away in the southeast corner of the state.You just passed it driving down 95 over the Florida/Georgia state line. St.Augustine Florida is the oldest city in the USA. St.Marys Georgia is where the war of 1812 ended. Also, home to kingsbay Naval Submarine base. Beautiful coastal community with live oaks and Spanish moss. Lovely place. Lived there for 30 years. We are now retired and bought a home up in the beautiful Georgia mountains. Blessings!
Saint Augustine is the oldest European city in America. There are cities out west that are older. A couple of them. Other than Saint Augustine pretty much the oldest city in the south is Charleston. Or Beaufort. And they are more historic than anything in Georgia. And South Carolina is a big military state in Georgia grows more peaches than Georgia and we have mountains and beaches, etc. as well. Ashley Georgia doesn’t have much beaches, but South Carolina has beaches along the entire coast. I’ll take South Carolina over Georgia any day :-)!
Also, not a "home" to Space Force or the original indigenous people.
Enjoy the mountains. Do they have really good healthcare up there for complicated heart issues or organ transplants? Infectious disease specialists? My dad lived near the border at one time and had to go to Atlanta for care. Since then, I've decided to age close to the city.
@@easystreetwithjen
Unless you’re sick, why would you care? I wouldn’t want to live anywhere near that shit hole city known as Atlanta. You could also get some type of rare condition where even Atlanta didn’t have a specialist. That’s kind of a weird arbitrary reason to live near a city. I live in Charleston and we have some amazing doctors. Atlanta? Never. Jacksonville? Never. It’s not so bad around Charlotte, but I’d never live anywhere that wasn’t on the water.
I missed the part where he said indigenous people. There’s no such thing. Back when humans first started we were closer to having one big continent. The continents drafted mankind crew and expanded in migrated. Back then there was no such thing as Africa. It was just part of another big piece of geography. we are all immigrants. We are all nomads. People like that. Have never read a history book. They don’t understand that there wasn’t even people in northern and South America until the last Ice Age. They probably don’t even know that horses weren’t here until the Spanish brought them. Spanish, Portuguese, brown people that actually killed about 90% of the indigenous people with small pox long before white Europeans got here. Most people don’t even realize that indigenous people even in the 1500s had no idea what a wheel was. In fact, most cultures around the world couldn’t figure out the wheel, whereas other cultures had it for thousands of years. Then again most people still think Civil War was about slavery. So much of what we’re taught in school is lies and propaganda.
@nedhill1242 I wasn't asking you. You only got a notification because you are part of this thread. I replied to the original poster. I'm glad to hear you'll be staying put. Have a great weekend!
@@easystreetwithjen
That’s the great thing about America. Unsolicited opinions!
If you didn’t buy peaches off the r side of the road or picked it yourself from a tree we can’t confirm , they come from middle ga and are like ecstasy if you get them home Grown other wise forget it. From a peach connoisseur!!🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑 not from
Those stores
I like the ones from Lane Southern Orchards off interstate 75 down in Fort Valley Georgia.
Even from the stands a lot of the time its stuff bought from the farmers market. We have them all over around here especially if you are heading north out of town for all the tourists to stop at on there way back up north from down here at the beach. Stuff they are selling could be grown in FL wherever and bought from a farmers market. Unless the stand is right in front of a farm but even then they can buy from farmers market to resell. I love yellow watermelons and they aren't the easiest thing to find. I get them every now and then probably not grown here in SC who knows but man are they good
Agree that did not look like a proper tree-ripened peach. He said it was soft, but it crunched when he bit into it and the middle he showed didn't look fully ripe. Can't help feeling like it's way too early, even for Georgia peaches. Used to live there, and I recall best peaches came later in May.
@@causticchameleon7861 I actually grew up in Fort Valley. There were several families that farmed and packed peaches. The Lanes, the Dukes, The Pearsons were three of the largest in Fort Valley.
I love the peach slushy from my local orchard (and apple slushy) and peach cider, peach donuts, peach everything. 😊
Brain freeze is caused by the blood vessels in the roof of your mouth being super cooled by the cold liquid and restricting. To resolve, either press your tongue to the roof of your mouth to warm it, or sometimes I use my thumb instead, if my tongue is also cold (as long as my thumb is clean!)
Fun facts: South Carolina produces more peaches than Georgia. And the peach water tower shown in House of Cards is a real thing in Gaffney, near the revolutionary war battlefield of Cowpens.
If you visit the panhandle of Florida (roughly Pensacola to Tallahassee), you should go to Floribama. Mediocre bar food, but it’s akin to going to Buccees: get some swag to prove you have been there. It’s a large beachfront bar complex on the Florida/Alabama line.
I was born and raised in SC and I've been to Cowpens, but I don't remember the water tower. This was over 20 years ago though. Best peaches in SC are from a big farm in McBee, SC. Also, about the only place I remember around Pensacola was Fuddpuckers restaurant.
Yeah, those Georgia peaches are okay for canning, but if you want to eat one fresh, get a South Carolina peach.
I have driven by that peach tower many times. Fun fact...actress Andie MacDowell is from Gaffney.
@@jeffbeaver4419 The Butt (the tower, not Andie. She’s a glorious person, and lifelong crush)
@@RSPDiver I knew a guy who,years ago,worked out at a gym in Asheville. One day,he went to the water fountain to get a drink. An attractive woman came up and asked if she could jump in front of him since she had to leave. She looked familiar and he asked her if she worked in an office that he called on as a sales rep. She said no,but she said she had been in a few movies. After she left he walked back over to his buddies. They asked if he knew who he had talked to and he said no. They told him it was Andie MacDowell. At that time she lived in Asheville.
South Carolina here….just across the Savannah River from Augusta, GA. A lot of delicious peaches grown around here, yummy. Nothing like biting into a fresh peach right off the tree and having the juice running down your chin and your hand. 😋😋
I’m from South Carolina too. We actually produce more than twice the amount of peaches that Georgia does.
I've eaten pounds and pounds of delicious peaches in my lifetime from Sara's in Edgefield. Wish I didn't live so far away.
I agree. I live in Indiana and we have a small Vegetable store who purchases his peaches from South Caroline. They are delicious!
Native Savannahian. I have eaten a lot of SC peaches. I used to travel for work and would stop in Kline (near Barnwell) for the peaches.
Shaun was in Richmond Hill for this video. If he thought it was hot then, I hope he doesn't travel through late July or August. April/May ain't hot!
Peaches are my favorite fruit, especially Georgia peaches. Yum, yum!
SC Freestone peaches (available in July locally) are the absolute best. I used to drive to upstate SC to the peach orchards and fill my SUV with peaches and run them back up to Virginia for friends and family every July. They are the absolute best.
My Grandma used to do the same with citrus when she’d visit us in FL from Alabama in the 70s and 80s. The tail end of her old Mercury Montego would be almost dragging the asphalt when she left so was so loaded.😅
Peaches from Palisade, Colorado are great too...in fact all hand fruits and berries grown at higher altitude are very good because they have try harder to flourish...more vibrant flavor.
I know these are fighting words, but Chilton County (Alabama) peaches have it all over Georgia peaches. If you find yourself in the Southern U.S. again, Shaun, you must stop somewhere in Chilton County--central part of the state--for one of our peaches. We also grow amazing pecans (mostly in the southern part of the state).
When you come to Tampa have a Cuban sandwhich and a deviled crab at La Segunda. Be sure to have Key Lime Pie. I hope you enjoy it. You should float down one of our spring fed rivers. It's the best Florida experience besides the beach. You should add pecan pie, peach cobbler, and banana pudding to your desserts to try list. Oh try biscuits with butter and honey.
My favorite Tampa experience was Mazarro’s Italian Market. Beats a theme park hands down.
@@lilquiz1301 I haven't been to Mazarro's. I go to Cacciatore Bros. I'll have to check them out. I love the smell of that place.
I'm Georgia born and raised. We moved to South Carolina and North Carolina but moved back in 1964. I haven't lived in another state since '64. I wish you had tried peach icecream. Not from a grocery store, of course. It's a 'tasty party in a bowl!'. Georgia pecans are wonderful. Oh, Peach Schnapps are a treat!
It’s good for you Shaun and Teka! I hope you’ll look for peach ice cream on your way. Worth the calories. Have a safe and lovely trip with lots of southern hospitality. 😊
I grew a peach tree even though my climate isn't quite right and it ended up with a fungal disease. But for a few wonderful years, I had the most lovely peaches. I was told the peach should practically fall into your hand, no pulling required. Those were the absolute best!
Thanks for continuing to share your (past;) adventures! It is always enjoyable to witness your joy & enthusiasm discovering new places & things🤗🍑
Lots of folks take pride in their state's peaches -- here in California we have a great reputation for peaches as well, among other produce. I can honestly say that the home grown peaches I've had here have been the best I've ever tasted.
Spectacular peaches are also in Oregon and Colorado. Georgia wins it for pecans!
Peaches are my favorite fruit: my favorite tea, cobbler, jam....
As a native Floridian, and resident of Tampa, I say welcome to my state! I hope you're stay is fun and that you get to really know are fantastic cuisine, our friendly people, and our beautiful beaches.
If you are still here in Tampa when you read this, may I recommend you try La teresita. It's a Cuban restaurant here in town and it is the best Cuban food I have ever eaten. Cuba has very strong connections with us here in Tampa and I think you would enjoy it. Make sure you get the Cuban sandwich, pressed, with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and mayo mustard.
In my hometown in Texas we have a lot of peach 🍑 trees. One of the largest groves has honeybees. They sell the honey locally. Has a slight peachy flavor. Absolutely love it.
Later in the season you will find freestone peaches that have a heightened flavor.
This was bothering me, I get there are some early varieties but it's too early in the season for real Georgia "peaches". By my "clock" it's another month or two.
Florida here: find some Florida grown strawberries. About 50 miles from St. Pete is the winter strawberry capital. The reason the GA peach tasted real is they grown some varieties that aren’t meant to be shipped long distances so they’re softer but richer in flavor. BTW, the skin & velvety feeling of the peach is called peach fuzz. Enjoy your visit and be safe.❤
Arkansas produces great peaches also. You know its a good peach if the juice is running down your arm 😊
I live in Georgia. Every summer I buy a half bushel of local peaches and make peach jam. A biscuit and peach jam is a taste of summer on a cold winter morning.
You should have picked up some Amish peach preserves, that's some good stuff. Try pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth to relieve brain freeze.
BRAIN FREEZE!!! Yes, indeed. The contrast between the Georgia heat and the Georgia peach slushy is wicked.
Homemade peach ice cream with fresh picked peach’s is wonderful , as are peach pie or cobbler, homemade too, of course.
I’m from the southeast of America, now living abroad. I grew up eating fresh, local peaches like that. Watching you eat that peach, I can almost taste it; I am SO jealous! Hope y’all enjoyed your visit and had a great time!
So tickled to have had this video suggested in my feed! I’m a 55 year old Georgia aka “Gawgia” peach! Born just outside downtown/midtown Atlanta. 30 miles south from there now. Thank you for trying our delectable peach offerings! ALSO, if you ever get the chance to sample a “White Peach” please do! Those are my favorite! 🍑❤️
Safe travels to Florida Shaun and wifey.❤
I live in Georgia and have peach, pear, fig, mulberry (red and white), pawpaw, pomegranate, apple, blueberries, thornless blackberries, fuyu persimmon, asparagus. It's pretty easy to grow so much here. I have raised beds and ground for annual vegetables and fruit.
Do you have a sunburn? Don't forget to use sun block in Florida!
“This peach I’m holding actually taste like a peach”🤣🤣🤣 hope your trip is wonderful. If you’re still around go visit the Amish in middle Tennessee.
It's not exactly peach season.
We live in SC. We have THE BEST peaches here. Must try peach ice cream and milkshake. 😋
South Carolina produces more peaches and clearly have the best and peaches 🍑 should be pealed 👍🏻
Why peel it? I never have.
I think Edgefield County in S.C. produces more peaches than Georgia now.
Never peel a peach! And I'm from near McBee, SC, best peaches in the state!
I just scrub them with my hands so they aren’t quite so fuzzy!
Richmond Hill, Georgia, my hometown. Peach World is awesome.. I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit with us.
I live in the peach capital of Texas, where we are known for the biggest, sweetest, juiciest of peaches. People come from all over... to our annual Peach Festival every summer. I'm willing to bet ours are better ;)
Where is this?
I would disagree. Georgia and South Carolina peaches are the best.
@@LyleFrancisDelp Weatherford, Texas
@@boroblueyes I used to live back East, and have had peaches from Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas as well. They were very good! Still....l think Parker County peaches here in Texas have the edge. But, it's a CLOSE call! So let's just agree to disagree.
I'm a Georgia native and I have to respectfully disagree with the sentiment that Texas peaches are better than Georgia peaches. Georgia just has a different growing climate so our peaches have almost a silky flesh. California now out-produces us, but ours are the best by far. So sweet!!
I would have wanted to buy EVERYTHING in that peach store. I have peach trees in my backyard, and it is my complete good fortune to make homemade peach jam from my own peaches.
Seeing the peach bbq sauce sign has confused my brain 😂
Hi! Georgia peaches are great, but so are those in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas! I live in Fort Worth, Texas, and every year nearby Parker County, has a peach festival. Much like in the place in your video, you can get all manner of peach stuff. Peach pie, cobbler, wine, jelly and jam as well as salsa. You can get 'em by the pound or bushel. It's always a lot of fun!
Props to Chilton County, Alabama peaches❤❤❤. Elberta is the type we love!
We used to die in southeastern michigan when Georgia Peaches came in season and a few were shipped north.
I will never forget the sweetness and juice of those peaches.
Peach glaze on baked ham is really good.
Peach jam or jelly on porkchops is amazing.
My mouth is watering, watching you eat that peach! So good!
Georgia native & lifelong resident here. Best peaches? South Carolina! A little town just over the GA/SC line near Augusta called Edgefield, SC us where he best peaches I have ever had in my life were grown. Glad you enjoyed yours.
My folks took us peach picking when I was a kid living in Missouri. They were the sweetest, juiciest peaches I've ever had to this day! But it made us itch all over! We couldn't wait to take a bath! Mom canned those peaches and we had peaches all winter long. She also made peach cobbler. So delicious 😋
I live in the Chicago area and haven’t been to Georgia. But our neighbors in Michigan grow wonderful peaches and sell them at our farmer’s markets. When I was going through chemo my neighbor stopped by with a big bag of Michigan peaches. Wow! I was blown away. They were huge, unblemished and amazingly sweet. Since then, I always go to the farmer’s market just to buy them. Someday hopefully I’ll get to taste a Georgia peach.
Nothing better than a good big firm fresh peach - I do like mine refrigerated though. Once when I was a kid, a seasonal worker doing construction work for my dad, went back home and came back with a whole basket of Georgia peaches. Mother didn't know how to can, but we prepped and froze them as well as had them to eat, and in our meals. Fresh peach in salad with vinagrette is delicious. We ate those peaches for years.
Wait! Peaches aren't quite ready yet! Wait for the freestone peaches in July; vibrant in color and flavor!!! Georgia peaches are wonderful, especially the girly ones!
Shaun, just saw your channel today and love your adventures of “firsts.” It’s the same thing I’d love to do in your country! Visiting Scotland and Ireland have been on my wish list since I was a child (and that was a long time ago, let me tell you!) 😂 But I will get there! I’ve lived in 4 different states and now it’s time to move overseas. So much in life yet to see and do! I wish you well on your travels!
Holy cow, I'm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA, and I'm actually making homemade peach cobbler tonight with delicious locally grown peaches, and have vanilla ice cream to top it with! But my favorite way to eat them is to let them get ice cold in the refrigerator, and then just eat 'em like they are. So refreshing on a hot day, and I'm hoping i haven't eaten too many like that and shorted the ones for cobbler, lol! 🍊
Best peaches I ever had were from a tiny tree I had in NE Texas. I have no idea where the tree came from (was there when I moved in), but I had to fight the wasps every year as the branches drooped to the ground. I also had a purple plum tree. Those two trees bore the best fruit I have ever tasted. Peace, Love!!
I had no idea what a peach was supposed to taste like until I planted a tree at my Michigan home. Omg fresh off the tree is a whole different animal!
Colorado has some great peaches too! Palisades Peaches!
That peach fritter looked wonderful! 😋
my mouth actually started watering 🤤🤤
Homemade Peach Cobbler and homemade Peach Ice Cream! You cannot get any better than that!
Cure for brain freeze: Brain freeze aka ice headache is due to a nerve getting very cold on one en. You just take the freezing item and put it over the eye (near nose) on the head ache side. In a short few seconds, voila, pain is gone. I'm from North Carolina and we also have peaches. You can make so much from them from desserts to salsas to glazes for meats or seafood and even spirits. Peaches are so so good. And yes, eating the skin is not bad--fuzzy fiber!
Two fruits I can't love without, Peaches and Mangoes.
"Love" Without? It fits.
Oh I am glad that you enjoyed it. Come to Florida and enjoy our citrus. When I visited Scotland, I tried IRNBRU. Loved it! Between that and the best scones that I ever had in St. Andrews. We love in Titusville, Florida (we are right across from the Space Center. You may be able to watch a rocket launch. Welcome to Florida😀
The fresh fruit you find in a store (and many shops) has been picked before it ripens. While that increases its shelf life and makes it easier to transport, it means the flavor of the fruit never matures the way it would were it left to grow on the tree/bush/vine. The best tasting fruit is always going to be that which is picked after fully ripening and delivered to you that same day.
We use to go from Savannah towards Augusta GA, and there was a Peach orchard for self picking. We would pick for the whole family. Somewhere around 20-30 bushels during the trip. They tasted great right from the tree. That was 40 years ago.
Love when the guys in trucks bring the Georgia peaches to NJ in the summer. Our peaches are great but the Georgias are devine for a couple of weeks.
Michigan peaches are great too. Surprisingly (or maybe not) some of the best peaches I’ve ever had were in Utah,
Was driving to pick up horse feed and the day was sweltering. No AC in the truck. Got a big old peach from a roadside stand. That was the juiciest, sweetest Peach!
He should go to Gafney, SC and see their peach water tower. Drive past it and a pond, and you will see a huge music store, at least it was there the last time I visited. In that parking lot, you can see the peach water tower above the treetops across the pond. It makes a beautiful photo. The peach water tower even has a sheet metal leaf, all painted perfect colors.
Another Georgian here!!! When I heard you bite into the peach… I said
“uh oh” that one doesn’t sound ripe🤣 I was waiting for you to bite and have juices running and your taste buds exploding 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thought the same, it sounded too crisp
Drinking ice tea & coffee from a mason jar is a very southern tradition (particularly with poorer people who often brew their own).
I live in the Golden Horse Shoe in Ontario Canada. I can't imagine living anywhere that doesn't have tons of fruit. Peach juice alone is so good in smoothies & our strawberries are much better than from California. Theirs are bred for size & to pick too early. Ours are picked when they're ripe . Good you were there when they are in season.
Peaches hold a somewhat similar place in American hearts that Mangos do in Southern India. Peaches are slightly easier and a little less messy to eat, but can be just as delicious, unpretentious, and egalitarian in spirit as mangos.
Both can be eaten neatly with the right utensils and a little skill, but to paraphrase my late Uncle, Colonel Lingus (USMC), "the best way to enjoy it is to just get in there ...if you dont get a little messy, then you aint havin enough fun".
Wise words. 😜
My mouth was watering watching that. I thought for years I'd had a good peach before until one day when I stopped at a fruit stand. The juices dripped off my elbow and it was heavenly. So....don't judge peaches from the crappy ones you get at grocery stores!
When I was a kid, we used to get South Carolina and north Georgia peaches. You had to lean over the sink to eat them because there was so much juice, and they were so sweet. Homemade peach ice cream on Grandmama Rogers’ big front porch in Moultrie, GA, is the best dessert I’ve ever had.
Alabama also has some great peaches. In Clanton, AL, there is Peach Park, and a water tower shaped and painted like a peach. So many great peach products in that area.
Like most fruits, there's different types of peaches. White colered flesh, yellow/orange colored flesh, clingstone, freestone etc. I love them all if they're fresh off the tree. The little flat Saturn/doughnut peaches are one of my favorites. I'm from N.C and years ago there were several huge peach orchards around my area. Unfortunately because of urban development, most of them are gone.
I agree with the lady below. I live in Georgia and one of my favorite things is to stop in peach country (actually called Peach County) and have their homemade peach ice cream. It is sinfully good!
