It’s probably too late to order anything from U.K.–based Edible.com in time for Christmas, but if you want to ring in the New Year with some reindeer pate and a bottle of “lizard wine” (an aphrodisiac brandylike liquor fermented in a vat containing lizards) and then nurse your hangover with a Chinese tea that’s “picked only by specially trained monkeys,” boy is this the site for you! Giant toasted leaf-cutting ants — apparently the world’s largest, harvested in the Amazon by Colombian Indians — are said to have a “nutty, bacon-like taste,” and Mopani worms, a South African snack, are described as “an interesting addition to dinner parties.”

If you want a WTF feast delivered in time for Christmas dinner, try your luck with Exotic Meats USA, which serves everything from llama and yak burgers to the product of the month — black bear loin chops. So that’s where the Gastronauts got their python meat…
