for longevity rather than flavor — can’t hold a candle to real tomatoes and peaches. They look good, but they are tasteless and disappointing. If you live in Georgia and have never had the pleasure of indulging in the real things of summer, then I feel sorry for you. I guess it’s like going to the beach and not dipping a single toe into the foamy ocean waves.

But to all of us Southerners who know the pure pleasure of enjoying the real things in life, let’s count our many blessings that we live in farm country! Run — don’t walk — to a roadside stand and get you some “real” “maters” and peaches today. And take napkins, because you’re going to need several to wipe the juice off your chin.
