French term or phrase: pommes citron
Hello,

This is an ingredient in a salad:

"Entre terre et mer:
Salade, tomate, pommes de terre à la crème d’échalote, saumon mariné, crevettes décortiquées, pommes citron, noix, croûtons"

Is there supposed to be a comma after "pommes" or does this mean something in particular?

Thank you

Uster apple
Explanation:
Apparently it is a variety of apple - like 'green', 'Granny Smith' - and from the images I found I assume it gets the name 'citron' because it is yellow. But it comes from the region of Uster in Switzerland so I think often the German name is used.

Some names I found:
- Uster apple
- Zitronenapfel (http://www.reverso.net/translationresults.aspx?lang=EN&direc...

neutral  mrrafe: There so many yellow apples that I wouldn't presume a Swiss one is appropriate. In US, most yellow apples are Crispin or Golden Delicious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apple_cultivars
