The peach, well known for being a fuzzy staple of Georgia culture, is actually native to China. They were cultivated in China thousands of years ago, being the emperors favorite fruit. Eventually the sweet fruit was introduced to Europeans through Alexander the Great. Spanish Explorers brought peaches to South America during the Columbian Exchange. But didn't spread very widely. However during the early 17th century fresh peaches did end up traveling to the "New World" colonies, planting them on his land in Virginia. American Indian tribes spread them all across the country, taking seeds with them and planting them as they traveled the United States.
The peach is the main ingredient in this delicious Fresh Southern Peach Cobbler dish from Mama Michelle's Bakery, a local "must try" for visitors. Another key ingredient is the crucial sugar, which also came to the Americas during the Columbian Exchange. The crunchy breading on top combines with the juicy peaches underneath like ice cream and brownies. The tastes of the two components complement each other so well, it would be hard to not give this dish a 10/10.
