Brings back many memories of growing up in the Coal Regions.

mango : green bell pepper. To the rest of the world, a mango is a tropical fruit. In the Coal Region, a mango is a green pepper. I don't know why this is. "Run upda Ack-a-me and get me some mangoes. I'm makin' spaghetti sauce."

I did research on the coal region mango but did not find an answer.Maybe someone can help me. My mom would make a big pan of stuffed mangoes and put them on the back of the coal stove.We would eat from that pan for 2 days.No one got sick.
