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:-)
