alt Hacker NewsSee my other comment: in 20+ years in the Bay Area, compared to 25 in SW Ontario (Canada): the BEST peach I've had in 20+ years in the Bay Area wouldn't even make it as "a good one" of the bunches we had every summer in Canada. Not sure where they came from, but from personal experience, Bay Area peaches suck REALLY hard. I've WANTED to find some good ones, because I miss them, and they're always super hard or already rotten.
Agree. California peaches are horrible. Southern peaches (Georgia, Carolinas) are indescribably better.
I love California, but it's funny/sad the extent to which many Californians deny that other parts of the USA have us beat in some regards.
