Anything peppers (all kinds of peppers) is definitely Americas. What
to serve with stuffed peppers is based on with what your stuffing
contains. Most folks stuff peppers with a meat n' rice combo and
include a sauce... really only needs a salad, beverage, n' dessert. If
you omit the rice (as I do) then you may serve a starch with your
meat and vegetable dish... with stuffed peppers I happen to like a
garden salad and/or three bean salad served with potato salad... I
prepare potato salad often, I don't think of it as company or picnic
fare. Btw, the potato is Americas too. There really isn't much
attributed to Italy. The Eyetalians are all the time attempting to
hijack, but then they do excel in pickpocketing and whoring.
