unicorn meat

Follow Me on Pinterest Don’t know what to serve at your next picnic? Nothing says yum more than the meat of a mythical mythical animal.

Seeing a can of Unicorn Meat on offer, or surreptitiously stored amongst your other canned good, will give the unsuspecting quite the shock. Though what’s inside the can is not edible and certainly does NOT look like the photo to the right. Instead, the can contains a dismembered stuffed unicorn. Check it out in the photo, before, especially before giving this canned unicorn meat to a kid (lest you inadvertently send a young’un into years of therapy).

giant toasted ants

What wine would you pair with a meal of Giant Toasted Leafcutter Ants? A sommelier might know—if that sommelier also happened to be aboriginal from South or Central America That’s where giant ants are a delicacy. Fortunately (or unfortunately), you needn’t trek through the jungles of Colombia to treat your taste buds. Simply head to the vondrous ThinkGeek store. They describe the toasted ants as having a nutty-bacon taste. But we think they taste like chicken. $20

bacon chocolate peanut brittle

Follow Me on Pinterest

A drawing of Sir Francis Drake wearing a pig snout mask? There’s only one product for which that can be the logo: Sir Francis Bacon Chocolate Peanut Brittle. The peanut brittle has all the sophistication of the famed English vice admiral. The bacon adds all the absurdity of putting a pig snout on said vice admiral. Yet, for a surprisingly large number of people, that unusual combination is tasty. $20.50 for three 3-ounce boxes

Amazingly, this is not the only bacon-chocolate combo available on the market. VOSGES makes a Dark Chocolate Bacon Bar. The Chocomize, the cool design-your-own-chocolate website, allows customers to add either real or vegitarian bacon bits to white, dark or milk chocolate bar creations.

wasabi gumballs

Follow Me on Pinterest

Back in college we used to do shots of wasabi as a sort of dare. These days we don’t need a lubricated party to blow our sinuses with an overdose of Japanese horseradish. All we need is some wasabi gum—it offers that spicy kick to the nose in chewable form. Sadly, we don’t know of any sushi flavored gum but hold out hope of finding some.

Each meal contains perfectly measured prepped ingredients. The sauces have already been concocted. The vegetables have already been washed and chopped. The grains have already been pre-cooked. All you have to do is spend 15 minutes mixing and heating it all up.
