Subject: Re: mangoes=peppers



This usage is very common in my area--North Central Indiana. I've seen

"mangoes" listed as an ingredient in pizza restaurants. My grocery store

often advertises "home grown mangoes" in the late summer. Needless to say,

this usage confuses my college students from other areas. I'm interested to

learn that you hear this in Illinois as I've never heard it outside my own

area.
