Glad you cleared that up Bruce. I was TOTALLY buffaloed there for a while.
Georgia peaches are best. I live near a peach farm and I always go there during harvest to gorge out on their freshly made (churned as you watch) peach ice cream and piping hot outa the grease fried peach tarts. Dammit, boy....

Yep, salmonberries are very much like raspberries, but they aren't quite as flavorful. They come in orange & red, and the name stems from a variety of sources. One is that they (the orange ones) look like clusters of salmon eggs, and another is that the bears start heading for the salmon streams before the salmon are there, so they eat the salmonberries instead.
I'm sure xoB's explaination is correct too - the natives up here have multiple stories & reasons for everything!

Just in case you want to order some, their season opens in May.

No spam intended. They just have damn good stuff.

The peach stuff I mean.
