Each person loves a fruit/vegetable that:

Ends with the first few letters of their own name

Gordon loves a Mango
Monica loves a Lemon
Ryley loves a Cherry
Lisa loves a Broccoli
Otto loves a Carrot
Percy loves a Pepper
Toby loves a Tomato

Then you can take:

The letters the friends and the fruits share:
G O M O N R Y L I O T P E R T O

And:

Rearrange them to form the notorious
'Terminology Troop'
