   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.
