CARBO-LOAD

   Not in OED.  Both this and the following item will probably be earlier (1970s) in the LOS ANGELES TIMES/CHICAGO TRIBUNE.  When I get a 1970s date, then I'll check running magazines for "carbo-load."

Abstract:
CARBO-LOADING is a temporary diet-shift program born in the 1970s when researchers found that a pre-race diet heavy in carbohydrates could prolong a runner's endurance. Carbohydrates are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, the major fuel for muscle tissue. The trick is to get as much gly- cogen into the muscles as possible.

THE CHEF'S COMPANION:
A CULINARY DICTIONARY
Third Edition
by Elizabeth Riely
Hoboken, New Jersey: John WIley & Sons
355 pages, paperback, $24.95
2003

   The author is editor of the RADCLIFFE CULINARY TIMES (a newsletter of the Schlessinger Library), a contributor to GASTRONOMICA, and author of A FEAST OF FRUITS.  Her work has appeared in BON APPETIT, GOURMET, the BOSTON GLOBE, and the NEW YORK TIMES.
   The book is described as "The indespensable guide to over 5,000 culinary terms," and 900 terms are new with this edition.  There are no illustrations, such as in WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY OF CULINARY ARTS.  (This has almost no culinary equipment terms.)  There are no dates for the terms, and there are no etymologies, either.  The book ends with a selected bibliography.  There are no charts of food terms by country/cuisine.  Not a single web address is given.
   To give it the old "hot dog" test, "hot dog"...is not here.  "Frankfurter" is "A German sausage from which the hot dog is descended; smoked pork and beet (Beef?--ed.), served poached; called _Bockwurst_ in Frankfurt."
   There are few drinks.  "Tea" is here, but not "smoothie" or "Bloody Mary."  There is no food slang.
   It's another book.  It'll help me.  But it doesn't really do what I do and compete with what I want to do for a "culinary dictionary."

"WINDY CITY" ERROR OF THE DAY

   From Lexis/Nexis:

SECTION: Pg. 13
LENGTH: 974 words
HEADLINE: Nothing to beef about in Chicago;

BYLINE: John Coughlan
BODY:
DAY ONE  THE moniker 'Windy City' dates from the 1893 World Fair, when the rest of America tired of listening to the local windbags singing its praises; they still boast that theirs is an all-American city like no other. They have a point. On a short visit you will be stretched to sample a fraction of the goodies on offer.
