Kids, try this at home

I shuddered when I saw the photo with my review of Pazo today. I can guarantee you I will get at least one e-mail pointing out that the appetizer I described as jamon Iberico wrapped around peach chunks is actually made with strawberries. "Just look at the photo." (It's the photo I used last Sunday in my review preview if you're curious.) ...

Yes, I do know the difference between strawberries and peaches. The photo was taken last month when the new menu was announced. That must have been the spring version, and now that it's later in the summer Pazo's kitchen is making the appetizer with peaches.

This, by the way, would be an easy and delicious hors d'oeuvre to make at home. Just wrap the prosciutto-like ham around chunks of ripe summer peaches (or use prosciutto, for that matter), decorate it with a watercress leaf, and stick a toothpick in to hold it together.

Maybe I should copy the photo here so you'll see what I mean. Only use peaches instead of strawberries.
