Good peaches are WONDERFUL. But, back while we lived “up north” we went through about 5 years of peaches being awful: pithy texture, little flavor and brownish color. I guessed that it was some combination of picking them too early and taking too long to get them to our markets. We stopped buying them for a long time. Fortunately, we now live in central NC and are able to get excellent peaches.
桃 (momo) is “peach” in japanese. 桃子(momoko), literally, “peach child”, is a popular girl’s name. sometimes it’s just “momo.” i’m trying to picture an english speaker’s reaction if a gal walked up and said, “hi, my name is peaches…”

I’m much too young to understand the reference here.
