Interesting.
I've lived my entire life in south eastern and south central Pennsylvania,
as have both my parents and a number of my other relatives, and I have NEVER
heard stuffed green peppers referred to as anything other than stuffed peppers
(and at least in my house they got stuffed with a mixture of browned ground
beef and cooked rice), nor green peppers as anything other than either green
or bell peppers. Never ever heard them referred to as "mangos".
The first time I ever saw or ate a mango (the real kind) was several years
after I graduated from college and had moved to Lancaster; one of my roommates
used to buy them periodically.
