Heh. I remember buying them a few times at Central Market. Not sure I have
seen them anywhere else. And they rarely have them. I just remember
wrecking them the first time I bought them. I thought... These are small.
They'll boil fast. And then I tried to mash them! Ha! They did sort of
smash down but they wouldn't come out of the peel. I was very short on time
that day. Instant ones would have worked better.
