So, you can't find gray salt anywhere? Need Turkish Pistachio's or Japanese Rice Wine Vinegar? Let me help you:













SaltTraders.com
For every conceivable kind of salt and salt mix you must visit Salt Trade. They have Black, Gray, and Pink Salt (a personal favorite) and everything else in-between. Specialty salts are never cheap, so these are about average if not slightly cheaper only because it’s coming straight from the distributor. Check it out; they also have great salt mixes, and collections for you intrepid salt lovers.

CandyCrate.com
LOVE this site. They have candies from the 40's straight through the 90's. It’s a lot fun. You can get decade collections (a 50's candy box for example), and they even carry naughty candy... I guarantee that if you’ve been craving wax lips, or bit o' honey, or any other long gone candy, they will have it for you!

GourmetFoodStore.com
For when you need that caviar and pate fix. It’s all the pricey stuff -- truffles, caviars, smoked salmons, rare mushrooms, etc. However, the prices aren't any more expensive than a gourmet store, and in same cases even slightly cheaper.

AquaMaestro.com
I love International bottled waters, but they can be really hard to find. Enter Aqua Maestro. It's actually a water club based in Palm Springs, Florida... really, I couldn’t make that up. They don’t ship everywhere, but if your looking for the elusive Highland Spring sparkling water (a Scottish brand that I love), it’s the only place that you'll find it in America. You can order 1 case, or you can have them send you cases on a schedule. If you need your Voss every 3rd Tuesday of the month, this is the place for you.

KingArthurFlour.com
A baker's dream come true -- every conceivable kind of flour, baking need, or baking utensil at your fingertips. They have a catalog that you can sign up for, and even carry some very handsome serving dishes. If you have wheat allergies, you can find all kinds of alternative flours and ingredients here. If you just love making brownies every Sunday, this is the place for you as well.

AsianfoodGrocer.com
A very well stocked online market. I will say that it’s mostly Japanese products, but they do have all manner of Asian (not including Indian) goods. I don't know was 95% of the stuff is, but I'm always willing to try something new.
There are very few places to find Chinese items online. This has some, but you're better of finding your local Chinatown or even favorite Chinese Restaurant and ask where they go grocery shopping.

KoaMart.com
As you could probably guess, this is a mostly Korean online grocer (although they also carry Japanese products as well). You can get all manner of candies, groceries, Kim Chee's and more things that I can’t even identify -- its fun to look though!

IShopIndian.com
An online Indian Grocery store. If spices are what your after, scroll down to Zamouri, but if you’re looking for breads, and sauces, this is your place.

AsiaMex.com
This is kind of funny, but it’s an Asian and Mexican store. I only included it because they have random products from the Philippines and Thailand that you might not find on the other sites.

MexGrocer.com
You guessed it, Mexican. From soda's to candy, to salsa’s to hot sauces to soup mixes, if you can’t find it at your local Bodega, you can find it here.

RussianFoods.com
Not a food I know very well, but this site is huge! They have cereals and teas and cookies and sausages, and anything else you could want. From Russia, with Love.

TheScottishGrocer.com, FoodIreland.com, BritishGoodsOnline.com
I clumped these together for obvious reasons. Scottish, British and Irish foodie lovers these are for you. If you need Treacle and Marmite (of course, who actually NEEDS Marmite), you can get it here. Cheerio!

ETurkuaz.com
Turkish delight. They stock everything from sausages, to teas, to breads. Again, if its spices you’re after, don't order here, but for any other Turkish food, give it a try.

Wine.com
I don't tend to actually buy wine from wine.com, but I use it as my Zagat’s wine guide. You can look at staff favorites, or search by country or price, and happily (happily because I'm a wine-dummy) there are always very nice descriptions. They also have great sales and a newsletter.

BeerGeek.biz
You can get Budweiser anywhere, but for Nut Brown Ale, you have to do a little searching. This place has random and hard to find Beer’s from around the world. And, although I've never done it, I’m sure there actually are Beer Geeks behind the screen waiting to answer any beer questions you might email them.

Cooking.com
When I need pots and pans and baking sheets, I tend to check this place out first. They really do have good prices, and if you sign up with them, you get notices for seriously AMAZING sales via email. They also have just a dizzying amount of things for the kitchen – it’s a website I love to troll and drool over.

AsSeenOnTv.com
I know, you’re asking yourself why? Well, where else are you going to get a Rotato (look it up on the website) or a home rotisserie oven? For all of you who have seen that oddly mesmerizing commercial at 3am advertising some kitchen gizmo, here's where you find it. Added bonus: no embarrassing phone call to make asking for your pasta-lover 3000.

ZamouriSpices.com
The best place to find that elusive spice. They carry all manner of Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern spices, and even Oprah likes it. So if Ms. O likes it, it can’t be bad right?

DaynasMarket.com
This place has an amazing collection of Mediterranean and even some Middle Eastern goodies. Definitely the place for nuts and dried fruits, but they also have oils, and crackers, and god knows what else. On top of all of that, the shipping is cheap.
