   • 1870, Hannah Mary Peterson, The Young Wife's Cook Book, page 444:

     In an effort to reproduce the pickle, English cooks took to "mangoing" all sorts of substitutes, from cucumbers to unripe peaches. Americans, however, preferred baby musk melons, or, in areas where they did not grow well, bell peppers.
