hi David!

Here in Canada, a cubanelle is a light green  --  like a granny smith apple
 --  pepper that is narrow and about 3 - 4 inches long.  Not usually a hot
pepper, they do have a nice flavour and go well in a fried pepper and
potato dish that I make failry often at this time of year.

Hope that this was helpful!

TTFN and Ciao!
