Gotta weigh in with Linda on this. I grew up in western New York
and remember eating Italian sausage sandwiches with peppers and
onions at the Erie County Fair. Much later in life, a couple of years
ago, I had the same sammich at the Solano County Fair in
California.
While I use sweet frying peppers like Cubanelles when I can at
home, IMHO if it doesn't have a stand selling sausage, pepper and
onions on a roll, it ain't a real fair:-)
