[Sca-cooks] OOP - Green Peppers and Mangoes

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

The mango=pepper issue was discussed on a listserv for reference 
librarians several years ago.  Most of the responses were anecdotal, and 
confimed its use in the Midwest, mostly Ohio.  One woman said that she 
attended college in Ohio in the early 70s, and green peppers on pizza 
were called mangoes, as well as stuffed peppers.  There is apparently a 
detailed entry for "Mango" in the Dictionary of American Regional 
English.  The person who mentioned it didn't quote the full listing, so 
you may want to seek it out in your local library.
