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:-) Dave Anderson Tough Love Chile Co. http://www.tough-love.com > I agree!
