    Title: African Chicken

    What, if you know, makes this "African" I see nothing in the
    ingredients specific to the African continent.

    I posted the recipe as published in the Fido's Kitchen Cookbook.

    https://archive.org/details/fidoskitchencookbook

    It does seem like "African" is rather vague here. Considering the continent has enough land mass to fit all the other continents
    combined, you may as well call it Terran Chicken. Another vague historical recipe adjective is "Oriental". Could be anything.

    You may want to alter that statement form combined to individually.
    Check the square miles/kilometers of each continent asnd you'll se
    what I mean.

    Oriental as a recipe category used to refer to judst Jaspanes or Chinese.
    Of course there are many different stylesd of Chinese grub. Then we gst
    into the Southeaqst Asian (Vietnames/Thai/etc>0 and Asian (India/Pakistan)

    And Middle Eastern grub which can come from Asia, Europe or Africa. Bv)=

    Never been big on garbanzo beans. Although I rank them above okra.

    This is *American* cuisine. I entered this recipe in Taste of Home's
    Crockpot Reciprs contest. If I win I'll be surprised ... adn U$500
    richer.

    Title: Dirty Dave's Crockpot Chuck Roast Dinner
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Herbs, Potatoes
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 lb Well marbled, trimmed beef
    - chuck or arm roast
    3 lg Idaho potatoes, peeled (2.5
    - to 3 lb)
    1 lg Onion; peeled
    18 oz Bag "baby" carrots
    2 oz Env onion soup mix
    Salt & pepper
    Garlic granules or powder

    Assemble the ingredients. Salt and pepper the roast as
    it sits n the countertop. Sprinkle some garlic granules
    over it if you wish.

    Peel the potatoes and slice them on your mandoline or
    with a sharp knife into even slices. Line the bottom
    of your Casserole Crockpot with the sliced spuds.

    Center the roast on the bed of potatoes and spread the
    "baby" carrots around the perimeter. Open the envelope
    of onion soup mix and sprinkle over the beef.

    Set your mandoline to a thin slice setting and slice
    the onion, covering the top of the roast.

    Place the lid on the crockpot and set the temperature.
    High if you are making this for Sunday's noon meal or
    low if you are going to work and want supper ready
    when you come home.

    UDD NOTES: I have added fresh mushrooms (both sliced
    and whole) to this quite successfully. I have also used
    a medium sized turnip in place of one of the potatoes
    when "catering" for others - after asking if they like
    turnips. Never for home consumption.
