National Peach Cobbler Day
Cobbler is a delicious dish enjoyed in both the United States and the United Kingdom, though they are cooked quite differently in these two locations. In England, cobbler is usually a meat dish made into a type of casserole. American cobbler is typically a dessert consisting of fruit filling and batter that when baked, rises into a dumpling. There are many different types of fruit cobblers including apple, blackberry, mango, cherry, rhubarb, pear, and of course peach.
Did you know that the world's largest peach cobbler that has ever been baked was 11 by 5 feet and 8 inches deep? It was made out of 90 pounds of butter, 150 pounds of sugar, 150 pounds of flour, 32 gallons of milk, and 75 gallons of peaches! This gigantic cobbler was made for the Georgia Peach Festival and every year they try and out-do the previous year. To celebrate National Peach Cobbler Day, try making some of your own delicious peach cobbler to enjoy!
