SPORT PEPPERS
  
   DARE's Joan Hall asked:
  
Sometime within the last few months I've seen a discussion of "sport pepper," 
the small, somewhat spicy, pickled pepper that accompanies a Chicago-style 
hot dog.  I assumed that it was here on the list, but I don'tfind it in the 
archives.  Does anyone else remember such a discussion, hereor anywhere else?  
(This preceded the reference in the New York Times on April 14.)  Our earliest 
citation right now is from 1996, which seems very late.  Any earlier ones would 
be appreciated, as would personalrecollections of the term (when and where).
Thanks,
Joan
    
 
   It's not in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, up to 1946 on ProQuest.  We just have to 
wait longer.
   Newspaperarchive.com seems to have added some Chicago newspapers very 
recently (see "Italian Beef" discussion below), but I still didn't see it there.
   In November 2003 I'd posted this, which _is_ in the ADS-L archives:

'RED HOT CHICAGO' PUTS ON THE DOG:[SPORTS FINAL, D Edition]
Chicago Tribune (Pre-1997 Fulltext). Chicago, Ill.: Apr 10, 1986.  pg. 11.B
Red Hot Chicago," an award-winning entertainment special that takes an 
upbeat, humorous look at America's favorite food, the hot dog, will be shown at 9 
p.m. Wednesday on WTTW-Ch. 11.
  
The half-hour program focuses on the Chicago-style frankfurter, a steamed hot 
dog traditionally topped with mustard, pickle relish and chopped onions as 
well as fresh sliced tomato, wedges of dill pickles, hot sport peppers, shredded 
lettuce, cucumber slices and celery salt.

SLIDER
  
   I don't know if DARE will have this.  I had a shake tonight at Sassy's 
Sliders (www.sassyssliders.com).  We've discussed the "slider" before, but didn't 
arrive at an early citation date.

OT:  DAVID SHULMAN FIASCO FALLOUT
  
   It's been a great month.  Censored from Google Answers for providing a 
correct answer on "the Big Apple."  Begging an entire month before the New York 
Public Library's Ask-A-Librarian to change an incorrect "Big Apple" FAQ.  
Having your ridiculous salary broadcast in the New York Times.
   But nothing tops yesterday's $850-a-month handover request by David 
Shulman.  (For those of you who don't know, the 91-year-old David Shulman has been 
an ADS-member for about 65 years.)
   Today (a holiday), I phoned my sister.  She has an autistic child.  She 
was incredulous.  She said I shouldn't even be giving him t-shirts, or paying 
for his books, or giving him a penny.  She has a good point.
   At Parking Violations, I've given t-shirts to someone there as well.  
"I'll PAY you," he always says, like it was some favor.  Then he points to his 
wallet.  "FILTHY LUCRE!"  When I return with the goods, he says,"How much is it?  
Five dollars?"
   I returned from a long 20+-hour flight from Africa last month.  My ears 
couldn't hear after the long flight.  I worked the next day.  In my rush for the 
subway, I left the bag of t-shirts at the newsstand, and they were lost.
   He wouldn't pay for it.
   I said that I had shirts just like it, for myself.  He said to bring them 
in to work.
   "What do you want for these?  Five dollars?  I'll PAY you for it!"
   For those just joining us after reading Safire's column...well, it's a 
long story.
