Well...let's have the goods!  If there is a source for the misconception, and the author has it
(apparently), then why not divulge it?  

I have over 700 cookbooks at my home, some dating back as far as the mid 1800's (well, reprints of
those books, anyway), and I have never seen a Bell Pepper referred to as a Mango.  Nor have I seen
a recipe for 'Green Pepper Mangoes' (though I would love to have one!!!).

I'm thinking this is a very, very localized usage.... or I'm just not reading the right books.
