I grew up in rural Michigan and I agree with your mom. Not that it matters much these days. I feel like peaches are increasingly being hybridized into baseball-textured sugar bombs. Real peaches smell rich, ripe and feisty. Ken
This works for mangos too. 🙂
Oh, I always wondered about mangos! I need more of them in my life.
