Has anybody tried this fruit, it is called paraguayo I don´t know the english translation. they are like a cross between a peach and an apple although a bit smaller. I really like them but I´d never seen them before, you can get them in Mercadona

I'll give it a go next time. Thanks for the heads-up.

paraguayo: a type of flattened freestone peach, also called the doughnut peach (paraguayo is a Spanish word that means 'relating to Paraguay')...

This is what my daughter and I nicknamed them...seems we were right

Yes we've bought them in previous years. They are actually a recent mutation from a peach tree and are known in English as a flat peach. So they are a new type of peach, with the latin name:

Prunus Persica var. platycarpa (foto)

In Spanish as Paraguaya or Paraguayo

And oh they do taste lovely.

They are so juicy and peachilicious ..... also try Pera Melon ...... a tiger skin fruit with the texture of a melon and the taste of a pear ......... scrummy
