First time to hear of capsicum in adobo

I have cooked and eaten adobo most of my life but I have never encountered this dish with capsicum included. I guess this dish is flexible as long as you stay true to the secret of cooking with vinegar. I have never tried it with potatoes either but my mum used to add hard boiled eggs. You can also mix chicken and pork. Now, I've got a craving for this all-time Filipino favourite.
