“these are UFO peaches”, my mum claimed. i thought it was her feeble attempt at humor since they were elliptic in shape with a noticeably dented middle. after i had one, my opinion changed - it was obviously a reference to the out-of-the-world taste of the peaches.
you know how most peaches generally occupy the extreme ends of the crunchy-mushy spectrum? well, these had the perfect bite - firm but yielding to the slightest pressure of a bite. it is so juicy that i have to slurp while biting to prevent the juices from flowing down my fingers (which is not necessarily a bad thing since sweet, sticky fingers has its own charms). and the taste, oh my, the taste; simply put, if summer has a taste, it would taste like this peach.
