What fruit it this?

[cats]

In our food co-op basket last week, there were these peach/apple things and we have no idea what kind of fruit they actually are.

They taste and smell like a peach, but are firm and have a crisp, apple-like texture.

It's hard to tell on Google because from the looks of it, you would think it was a peach, but it's not fuzzy, nor soft.

Ideas?

Without a picture it's hard to say but possibly a nectarine?

Was it a nectarine?

[panicked]

Nectarine? It's tough without a pic.

Nectarine? And if it's crisp, then not quite ripe...

I cut it up and am eating it already. Picture fail.

It's not overly peachy in flavor, and the texture isn't like it still needs to ripen (but maybe?).

I Googled Asian pears and it doesn't have an apple core, but an pit. My bet is an unripened nectarine.

I feel like I should know what a nectarine is by this stage of my life. Good grief.

Yea I would guess nectarine.

I'll never tell. 

ETA:  Okay. Maybe someday.  

ETA2:  I will when TOTS does.  Snort.

Yeah, that's a nectarine for sure.

Google nectarine and look at picture --- does it look like what you ate? I like them better than peaches because they don't tend to be as messy. I love peaches but they are almost always messy.

There are white nectarines, too, maybe that's what you had.

Pineapple!! Pineapple!

After my scientific research (or was it math? idk), I conclude that I consumed an unripened nectarine.

I know.  I really can't believe I didn't know what a nectarine was.  I just have never had one before. lol.

I have no idea how I have made it this far in life.  #fail
