not bad for mile 25
Okay, I was moved to wikipedia it:
When mangoes were first imported to the American colonies in the 17th century, they had to be pickled due to lack of refrigeration. Other fruits were also pickled and came to be called "mangoes", especially bell peppers, and by the 18th century, the word "mango" became a verb meaning "to pickle".[9]
For the record, mangoes are not grown, not as bell peppers anyway.
