Here in *Australia*, ******........ we call them Capsicums.

***********************************

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum

The name given to the fruits varies between English-speaking countries.

In Australia and New Zealand, heatless species are called "capsicums"
while hot ones are called "chilli/chillies" (two L's). The term "bell
peppers" is rarely used, usually in reference to C. annuum and other
varieties which look like a "capsicum" or bell but are fairly hot. A
common Australian mispronunciation is "capsicun."

In the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada, the heatless varieties are
called "peppers" or "sweet peppers" (or "green peppers," "red peppers,"
etc) while the hot ones are "chilli/chillies" (two L's) or "chilli
peppers".

In the United States, the common heatless species is referred to as
"bell peppers," "sweet peppers," "red/green/etc peppers," or simply
"peppers", while the hot species are collectively called
"chile/chiles," "chili/chilies," or "chili/chile peppers" (one L only).
In many midwestern regions of the United States the Sweet Bell Pepper is
commonly called a mango. Merriam-Webster Definition With the modern
advent of fresh tropical fruit importers exposing a wider latitude of
individuals to the tropical fruit variety of the Mango, this definition
is becoming archaic. However many menus still call a stuffed Bell Pepper
a Mango.

I *love* pine nuts in most things, but they seem to be getting a tad
expensive of late. So for a couple of months now I've been substituting
Sunflower kernels....... works well.

I suspect he's yanking your chain (or, "having you on"?) since "******"
is a word more commonly used in Australia/New Zealand/Britain than in
the U.S. If he were being U.S.-centric he'd have used a different
insult word.

"Fop" is an odd word, too, isn't it? The people most likely to use it
are ... fops. -aem

Same as: Taking the ****...... being an arsewipe........ having a lend
of himself... being a pretencious ponce.

America should adopt it :-)

'His' use of that word conjured up the image of a limp wristed elderly
pretencious Pommy git trying to sound like he knew what the hell he was
talking about.

Thanks aem, gathered that too!

Fop always conjures up images of the Scarlet Pimpernel.... lol

If we ignore twerps like these, they'll end up scooting back to
rec.boats or whatever nether region they morphed from. Would appear
he/she's not a happy camper today - most posts are acerbic & snotty.
(and for what it's worth, my care-factor-indicator regarding
joesparebedroom just registered a great big zero!)

I stand corrected.
