Jeff writes : "Adult learners may find this site worth exploring, at http://foodsubs.com. Essentially a picture dictionary of food, the long passages may be difficult reading for lower-level readers, but for quickly matching the names of food ingredients to pictures, it might be fun and useful for anyone. The interface is clean and the pages load quickly." This could be a useful resource for ESOL beginning level students if (as Jeff suggests) the students just look at the (large text) food names and pictures Your thoughts? David J.
