Les Peches Plates
The first time I came across "les pêches plates" (flat peaches) was in France but I've since come across them here in the UK, now and then.

Hello dear laddoo - I do love a nice doughnut peach, so summery!
They're gorgeous, aren't they? This year's seem to be very good - my lot from my grocer is very tasty and sweet!
@Rejina Yes, a real taste of summer!
@Su_Lin Mine were lovely and sweet too. Shall have to pick up some more, once I have got through today's strawberries!
Hi Kavey, How odd you should post about the peaches.
Whilst at a BBQ just last night, my MIL was asking about these very peaches & some people had never heard of them & others didn't know what they were called.
I can pretend to be very knowledgeable now & tell everyone what they are called hee hee, thanks.
@Debs - ahaah, now you know!
I've never seen doughnut peaches before - do they taste just the same? They remind me more than anything of "mother goddesses".
@choclette yes they do taste the same, though the best of them are so wonderfully sweet. Then again, that applies to the best regular round peaches too. Maybe it's just their rarity or the cuteness of the shape, but they make me smile to see and eat them!
i love these- and adore your photo. i know they should be had as is but it doesnt hurt to broil them for just a teeny bit and have w thick cream and crushed pistachios. x shayma
@shayma That sounds lovely too, might try that, especially if end up with some that aren't as sweet and soft as expected...
I haven't had nearly enough peaches yet this summer!
@foodycat Me neither, infact all I've had are 8 of these (I went back and bought another four, for the princely sum of £1.02) a couple of days later!
