EP Delicious is the debut extended play from Worcester, England quartet Peace. The extended play was first released on 7 September 2012 through Columbia Records in the United Kingdom.
The extended play consists of four tracks, including "Bloodshake" (formerly known by its demo title, "Bblood") and "1998"; a cover of the Binary Finary song of the same name. Both "California Daze" and "Bloodshake" featured in NME's 'Top 50 Songs of 2012'; at numbers thirteen and forty-three respectively.
The extended play was met with positive reviews, including from Tom Howard—of NME—who gave EP Delicious nine out of a possible ten stars: "Opener "Ocean's Eye" is two minutes of Pulp at their creepiest and randiest, but twisted into something roguish and chaotic. "Bloodshake"'s guitars and bongo-infused drums are as colourful as a pineapple, papaya and mango salad, and give way to singer Harry Koisser demanding "Spit blood at the sun, spit blood in the ocean". "California Daze", meanwhile, is a softer love song about a girl who "tastes like sunlight". But most impressive of all is "1998 (Delicious)", on which the Brummie quartet take Binary Finary's trance classic of the same name and turn it into a post-rock monster that's 10 million times more exciting than any Explosions in the Sky song ever. It builds and teases before bursting into an earful of cymbals and wailing its way to a messy finale. Clever, confident, ambitious. All of it." Mike Diver—of the BBC—also praised EP Delicious, reviewing the final track as "The 10-minute 1998 ends this set on a triumphant high, though. A sort of Kraut-kissed Pink Floyd-goes-LCD Soundsystem affair giving way to some Comets on Fire-recalling comedown psychedelia, it’s a fairly sky-scraping finale. And it’s a perplexing final puzzle piece, confirming this band’s should-be-contenders status without actually nailing down a signature sound.

Delicious! (デリシャス!) is a manga drawn by artist Yui Ayumi (あゆみゆい, Ayumi Yui). The original story was created by Miyuki Kobayashi (小林深雪, Kobayashi Miyuki). It was serialized in 35 parts in the monthly shōjo publication Nakayoshi from April 1996 through May 1999. It was then collected into seven books, each containing five parts. Each part was published with a recipe for the reader to prepare.
Ringo Nonohara's dream is to become a star. Although she can't cook, she tries out for the lead in a cooking show called "Delicious Time," which will also be starring the star she idolizes, Mahito Ishizaka. When she discovers that the final stage of the competition will mean she has to prepare a dish, however, Ringo calls on her good friend, chef, and next-door-neighbor, Tsutsui Kazuomi. Thanks to Kazuomi's help and her own cute persona, she is chosen for "Delicious Time." Thus begin trials as Ringo tries to become a star.
Delicious is a series of time management casual games that is developed by Zylom Studios and developed by Gamehouse Studios and published by Zylom, with the aid of Gamehouse Studios and Gamehouse. However, on the contrary, the latest release of the series' Honeymoon Cruise version is developed by a completely different developer, Blue Giraffe.
The games tell the story of Emily, a waitress who aspires to one day run her own restaurant, and who works in several other restaurants in order to earn the money to eventually make her dream come true.
After releasing the first 3 games of the series, Zylom decided to "renew" the series by adding some factors to it to make Emily's world more memorable and natural. As a result of this, from the fourth game onwards, the series received high appreciation and reviews from casual game critics and gamers, such as Gamezebo, who gave the seventh game, Emily's True Love, a maximum 5/5 star overall review.
The idea for the series of casual games was thought of in 2005. Each individual game in the series was designed by the following people:
