JALAPENO POPPERS

   OED has "jalapeno" from 1949; Merriam-Webster has 1939. Nothing on the American Periodical Series.  NEW YORK TIMES full text has nothing when I checked pre-1960! I'll try to beat that later today with Henry Howard Harper's A JOURNEY IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO: NARRATIVE OF EXPERIENCES AND OBSERVATIONS ON AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS (1910).  If it's not missing, that is.
   Emeril is now featuring "jalapeno poppers" (www.foodtv.com).  I've seen this around a lot, but it's a trademarked name.  See below:

HAIRS OF ANGELS

FAMILIAR LETTERS OF FLITTINGS 'ROUND NAPLES, CITY OF SWEET-DO-NOTHING
By An American Girl (Katherine Phelps Lynch--ed.)
New York: The Alice Harriman Company
1912

   No "espresso."  No "pizza."  The book doesn't even have any sex.

Pg. 10:  ...gelato napolitan.

Pg. 48:  And by the way, does Giovanni still make the delectable dish of _pasta con pomidoro_?

Pg. 66:  But _Turino_ chocolates, _carino mio_, are a something which anyone knowing their great perfection, will not allow to long lie unclaimed.

Pg. 112:  ..._gelati_...

Pg. 211:  _Fritto misto_ being a mysterious Italian dish of brains and artichokes and heaven knoweth what not!

Pg. 283:  Little towns where chains of golden _pasta_ are forever drying in the hot sun--_pasta_ in all sorts of forms and sizes running from thread-like variety called Hairs of Angels!--_Capilla degli angeli_--to great heavy tubing like a garden hose...

Pg. 302:  ...sweet _frittata_ (omelet)...
   ..._grissini_, the long crisp sticks of bread.
