Pretty understandable to someone living in the USA. Kroger is a grocery store that bought another store, they stocked peach muffins, Billy Bob is a generic term like John Lee etc, for southern born guys, and Georgia, a southern state, is famous for peaches.

I grew up in Modesto, CA (Stanislaus County Seat) which liked to call itself the "Peach Capital of the World". Mighta been, back in the 60s, but now, not so much..... Best fresh peach I ever ate came from Georgia. This was in the late 70s, early 80s, before produce became world-wide, in origin. ;) nb |

When I lived in PA we had a peach tree NJ had one of the best selections of produce though, peaches, corn, tomatoes, blueberries and cantaloupes were some of the best. Every neighborhood in Philly had a huckster that brought the stuff once or twice a week. Farmer's market at your doorstep. |

We have a number of peach orchards nearby and we always look forward to the freshly picked fruit. Nice ripe peaches do not travel well. |

Before my next door neighbor died a few years ago, she had wonderful peaches on her backyard tree which she shared. I haven't really had a good supermarket peach, so I quit buying them. Cheri |

Peach trees are also relatively short lived, orchards need to plant new saplings regularly as they typically produce for about ten years and then go into decay. Peach trees grow well on Lung Guyland but often winters get too cold here in the northern Catskills. I just discovered that the Davis Peach Farm is no mo http://northforker.com/2016/09/24/da...r-good-sunday/ |

Kroger came in and forced their national items, like peach muffins, into a community they had little knowledge of.. The former Mariano's stocked cranberry-nut muffins and a variety of muffin types. Same thing with Mariano's hot buffet items, which Kroger dropped meat items from and used a standardized central kitchen production of buffet fixings. The only previous Kroger chain around Chicago is the Food-4-Less warehouse of drab corn syrupy box food with a parking lot littered with sale flyers. |

Right, can't find decent tree ripened peaches anymore.... harder to find than a fifteen year young virgin vagina. Years ago horse drawn produce carts traversing Brookyn's streets had lovely wares.. twist open a tree ripened cling peach... the aroma and vision is as close to fifteen year young virgin vagina dripping with sugary juices as it gets... try it, may be the cure... you'll never desire boring zuchinni again. ;) |

I always get peaches from local farmers stands. They sometimes have a range of ripeness in each basket so there are some to eat right away and some to be eaten a day or two later. The later peaches tend to be mealier and stingier that earlier ripening varieties. |

It's the water (H2O). Plants get it, they're good. They don't get it, they're not so good. CA has jes survived a drought and SoCal wants any water NorCal has left. They may get it, too, as SoCal has the votes! Don't get me started.... ;) nb |
