It's interesting that most people think of peppers as something you add to salad or fry with sausage. I knew a mother who had another idea. She told her toddler that peppers were a tasty snack. The child would ask for sliced peppers as a treat. This went on for years, until the larger culture persuaded the child that peppers were a vegetable, and candy was a treat. This child still likes vegetables but has, in a sense, lost her food innocence. I didn't realize how wise the child's mother was until I read this post. Good job.
