I leave you with my latest food craving of plums and nectarines.
In front are sweet flesh nectarines. I like to affectionately call "spaceship" nectarines. They are smaller than normal nectarines and are sweet. I tend to like nectarines much better than peaches. I think it is the "fuzz" texture I don't like in peaches. I guess I could never live in Georgia. ;-)
The plums to the left are sweet plums, branded as "dino" plums. The ones on the right are golden plums. Both are good but the dino plums are sweeter. Though buying fruit doesn't seem like a big deal, these are definitely not things I customarily buy. However, I found myself craving them, therefore, I went ahead and bought them.

Yum!
Yum :) I LOVE fruit!
I'm totally with you on the peaches vs. nectarines debate. I love peaches that are IN something or used for something and I love the flavor, but the fuzzy texture is a bit much for me.
Great pictures!
I think fruit is a GREAT thing to have a craving for!
I love and crave fruit, spend at least half my food budget on it, will go eat a nectarine right now.
Have you ever tried (or rather can you get) Greengages? or damsons? both part of the plum family. i managed to find some greengages yesterday. they're not overly common in the UK, at least not in supermarkets.
The victoria plum is the little oval shaped traditional plums that some lucky people have in their gardens over here. and if your lucky you'll find damsons growing in the hedge rows - in fact i might go investigate a tree i know - perhaps i should go now (7.30am)so knows sees what i'm doing & gets similar ideas, or maybe late at night once the wasps are sleeping!
are those white or yellow fleshed nectarines by the way?
i think i should find a course to study on fruit!
Yeah to all you fruit cravers out there!
Susie, the nectarines in front are white flesh. I have never heard of Greengages or victoria. I think I've heard of damson though. I'll have to keep them in mind sometime and try them!
I think I have a serving (or two...or three) of fruit with EVERY meal! Yum!!!
i hope you can find som greengages over there, not sure they would ship well from the UK, sorry!
