yes, it really confused me when in Indiana, I first heard my mother-in-law ask
me to pick her some "mangos" for the salad 26 years ago a few months after my
wife and I were married. I am from NJ and didn't have a clue about tropical
fruit or why she would want it for a salad. They are in the Muncie area. Any
idea how that came into "indiana speak"?
