Anyone got the Atkins book from the '70s?

There was a FABOO recipe in there for Italian pot roast, and I haven't
been able to find anything close to it.

If you have the original Atkins book, please please please post this
recipe! Thanks in advance.

On UseNet please use actual words not texting mutations. We're old
fashioned when it comes to writing. UseNet doesn't just pre-date
texting, it predates any e-mail system currently in use and it predates
connection to the Internet. Sort of like when Obi Wan Kenobi in Star
Wars described his light saber - It's a tool from a more civilized age
.... ;^)

Not so civilized that you need to post in the Latin of Caesar or the
French of Napolean. The Lingua Franca of UseNet is the English of
"Leave It To Beaver". "Gosh, Wally. How did it work out that way?"

Ah, the old white cover book without "New" in its title. DADR - Doctor
Atkins Diet Revolution. One of the classics of the field. On the one
hand it is the book that makes it explicit that the Atkins process is
about being in or out of ketosis so CCLL uses in and out of ketosis not
week to week loss rates. On the other hand the book's description of
the maitnenance phase is so brief and so lame that version of the plan
can be accurately descibed as a fad diet for its lack of maintenance.

My favorite recipe title in that edition is "Cheesecake that is illegal
but not immoral". Gosh Wally, where can I find some liquid cyclamate
drops? The last time I drove through Canada I looked in a grocery store
but could not find any.

Pot roast. Get a tough cut. Cook it slowly until it turns soft. Serve
to the admiring crowd. Bluebrooke already posted that it isn't listed
as Italian.

Erm, okay, but I've never texted in my life, and I've been using
"faboo" for decades.

Then it must've been a different edition. C'est la vie.

Not from Atkins but good and spicy, of course you want to skip the buns.
Also can be done slowly on stove or in oven, but the slow cooker does a
great job.

Italian Beef

3-4 lb chuck roast
1 tsp. oregano (not ground)
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 whole cloves
5 bay leaves (3-5 depending on size)
1 pkg. dry beefy onion or onion soup mix.
3-4 pepperoncini peppers, just put slits in them

Season the roast with season salt, garlic powder and pepper. Put in crockpot
with the rest of the ingredients on top of that. Add enough beef broth or
water to barely cover the roast. Cook on slow about 12 or 14 hours. The
easiest way to shred the meat is with a potato masher. Check for seasoning
and then add a couple of dashes of the pepperoncini juice. That is where the
spiciness or heat comes from.

Serve with Rolls or buns. You can put in the fridge for several hours if you
want to get every bit of fat off of it if desired. Recipes is easily
doubled. Freezes well also.

This looks very close and sounds yummy -- thanks so much.
