Celestial
Seasonings
Unless you live in the US, you won't be able to order from Celestial Seasoning's diverse range of exotically flavoured teas, tea-related gifts and apparel. But you'll know what to look out for at the supermarket.

Dip into chilli recipes, chemistry, botanical facts, gardening tips, and general pepper talk. You can find our what's the hottest pepper, what makes it hot, how your body reacts, and identify that mystery one in your kebab.
Chocolate
Lover's Playground
This page almost hurts, with its mouth-watering chocolate recipes and meanderings into chocoholism. It delivers, too, but only within the US.
Epicurious
Web-only marriage of Condé Gourmet, Bon Appetite, and Traveller magazines, crammed with recipes, culinary forums, advice on eating out around the world, dining tips, and articles on ways to stave off hunger with panache.
Mamma's

Over
the Coffee
Enough coffee trivia, mail order firms, reviews, anecdotes, and links to similarly minded sites to keep any caffeine addict happy. An ideal companion for a brew up.
Pizza
Net
http://www2.ecst.csuchico.edu/~pizza/
What a shame this experimental and example-setting online pizza delivery service only delivers graphic facsimiles and not the real McCoy. Wouldn't it be great to sit down to a piping hot feast of bugs, bolts, kittens, hammers, footballs, and road signs? Nevertheless, it does lay the foundation for a successful fast-food scheme.
Ribbets
http://www.odyssey.com.au/wtc/ribbets
How's this for lazy? Just say you're online, in the middle of a Duke Net match, and you feel like ribs or pizza. If your only phone line's tied up, you could switch to the Web, contact Ribbets, and have one in front of you within half an hour. But you have to answer the door - and live in Brisbane.
Spencer's
Beer
Here's the place to find out how to perfect your brew. It carries several hypertext home-brew recipe books, including the entire Cat's Meow series. Bottle-spotters will be thrills to find a gallery of 228 labels in 128 shimmering colours.
Virtual
Pub
http://lager.geo.brown.edu:8080/virtual.pub
None of the usual beer yarns like waking up in a strange room stark naked with a throbbing head and a hazy recollection of pranging your car. In this virtual pub, beer is treated with the same dewy-eyed respect usually reserved for wine and locomotives. You her all the beef down to the specific gravity, bottle colour, and alcohol content, but nothing about those nasty side-effects like loss of motor skills, blurred vision, and parking your lunch.
Wine
Net
Sniff Uncorked, and online wine journal, join in viniferous, or link to vineyards, vendors, and wine fanciers' pages.
