| There's about a 15-minute window of opportunity when they're just right. Then they're yellow and mealy. |

| Lucky is being generous on the 15-minute window; Yellow Transparent is the same way. Old timers ate them with relish as they said it still beats eating a snowball. Ein Shemer never does achieve that window and goes directly from green and starchy to yellow and mealy. |
