This is a unique site in that it offers (mostly) alcoholic jello recipes. What better way to drink than to eat jello (?) Actually lots of these recipes seem pretty tasty and I bet the college folks who dreamed this page up had more on their minds than final exams or reports. Of course maybe this *was* a research report! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fishing For Recipes Gopher to: thorplus.lib.purdue.edu/11/databases/AquaNIC/publicat/recipe More than 60 tantalizing recipes including a huge collection of Catfish recipes.

Chocolate Lover's - This is heaven on the Web! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirk McKusick's Wine cellar telnet to: chez.cs.berkeley.edu 451 Another fun and offbeat place to surf to show the current temperature of Kirk's wine cellar and suggestions for the "wine of the day". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bartender's Guide http://www.mcs.com/~doc/guide.html How do you make a Mint Julip?

Well worth the trip! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Healthy Recipes http://heath.net/Virtual A good selection of recipes that seem easy enough to make with ingredients that you'll find on most any grocery store shelf. However, when I read the recipes and then imagined what they would actually taste like, I was taken back a bit. Perhaps these recipes will make dishes that will look and taste good but perhaps not. If there is anyone out there that has actually tried the recipes and made something from this site - let me know how it fares. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet Restaurant Guide http://super.hwy.com/RestaurantGuide.html You can search for all sorts of restaurants and places to eat by typing in the name of your town (or whatever town you'll be eating in) and you'll be presented a list of eateries that include an address and phone number and as this database progresses - a menu list of what each place offers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meal Master Home Page http://www.primenet.com/~wilson/mm/mealmast.html An electronic trading postof recipes from around the world.

Temple University's site is well worth the trip. I recommend "rooting" around all these sites for info and recipes not to be found elsewhere. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Custard List http://www.execpc.com/~custard A group of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (US) frozen custard vendors decided to get together and write a web page that features all the different flavors that are available each month to the public at their custard stands. Seems that folks in Milwaukee take their custard seriously and now can view from their homes with a web browser all the different flavors that the various custard stands will be offering for the month. OK - I could have put this site in the business section of BIGSURF - but it *is* food related and kinda cool! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blue Directory http://www.2way.com/food/pvo/bluedir.html Lots of links to all sorts of food and food related sites.
