[quote name="Zsenitan"]Sport peppers are the long, crisp, tough-skinned peppers found on a classic Chicago hot dog. They are slightly spicy. While out of place on an Italian Beef Sammich, they are not the fagele condiment known as "sweet peppers"; in fact sport peppers are a part of gardiniera (of which I am a stated and whole-hearted fan.) "Sweet peppers" are either green bell peppers or melrose peppers that have been sliced thin, seasoned, and cooked by a method which combines the most objectionable parts of stir-frying and steaming. They are not bad per se, but why would you not have hot peppers. You should have hot peppers. Sweet peppers taste of Lent.[/quote]
