E' un frutto piuttosto nuovo mi pare sia stato introdotto per la prima volta negli anni 70. Devo confessare che non e' la mia pesca preferita, giacche' viene spesso venduta non ancora matura, almeno qui in Inghilterra. Io preferisco le gianllone spaccarelle! Trans: Reply on nectarines. It is a fairly recent fruit , I think it was introduced for the first time in the 70's. I must confess that nectarines are not my favourite kind of peaches, as they are often sold unripe, at least here in England. I prefer the 'Giallone Spaccarelle' type. A lot of new words here - for anyone who has never tasted Italian peaches, they are massive! 'Spaccarella' is a type of peach which is easy to separate from the core (il nocciolo) after cutting it in two; from the verb: spaccare=to fracture/to splice. This way none of the wonderful juice is lost. The flesh (la polpa) is yellow, hence the name Giallona (from giallo=yellow). But enough ranting: try the following site to see what Italian peaches look like: http://www.pomonaitaliana.it/pomona/pesche.htm where you will find also other common fruits with pictures. Buon appetito! roma55 Ciao a tutti,

I see that I can log in and use the site, which is great. But when I click on "My Account" it says I have to confirm email. So when it comes time to upgrade to a paying account, I'm not sure how I will get in there. When I click "upgrade" it takes me to the error message. I'm guessing you would money at some point :) As a side note, I'm also registered at spanishpod101.com and the emails there came through immediately. Just in case it helps you to know that. I love your web site and program . Thank you! Rabbit Grazie, Marco.
