Mangos (cabbage & green bell peppers) Thanks
 

I made the 'mangoes' recipe according to my own style after reading
the Ball Canning recipe you'all sent. It called for 12 peppers
sitting in 1 cup of salt for 24 hours and then stuffing them with
sliced cabbage.

What I did was 1/4 the recipe using 2 green peppers and 1 red bell
pepper diced; then mixed together. I put them in a vegetable press
for a couple of days inside the refrigerator, not wanting to do the
kim chi way of leaving on the counter.

I enjoyed it, and it is probably the closest to what I had as a kid.
Many, many thanks.

I haven't heard this reference to "mangos" in years !

In my home town ( NE Pa. ) housewives regularly
referred to bell peppers as "mangos".
It wasn't until I'd moved to the city
that I learned what mango's really were.

As a kid, I often went to the grocers for "salad".
( a head of iceberg lettuce )

Now that I think of it, the only time we had real salad,
was when the priest was coming to Sunday dinner.

There are some wonderful things about not being citi-fied - at any
age. ;-)
