Cold Brew Cereal? Lava Salt? The Weirdest Foods You Can Buy Online

Adventurous eaters, assemble! If you think you've pushed your palate to the limits, just wait. There are dozens of bonkers foods online waiting to be tasted, from earthworm jerky to Unicorn Farts. Just remember: What's odd to some is delicious to others. Some items we wanted to share with you — including clam-flavored candy canes and Onion Ring Mints (instead of refreshing breath with spearmint or cinnamon, these hard candies leave eaters with onion ring breath) — are currently out of stock, with no word on when they'll ship. But here are some of the weirdest foods you can shop for online.

Bizarre Food has rare and odd foods from silkworm pupae ramen to earthworm jerky. But what's better to top off a meal than chocolate-covered crickets — or scorpions, if you prefer? Crickets are remarkably high in protein; they're comparable to chicken breasts in their protein content. So, this dessert is healthy, if you can stomach it.

Pink Himalayan salt may have become familiar, but black salt is still a relative rarity. Harvested in Iceland, this black lava salt is mixed with activated charcoal. Activated charcoal naturally detoxifies the body and has other health benefits. No, it won't blacken your teeth. It will simply provide a contrasting — and surprising — garnish for your dish.

Jones Soda turned heads in 2003 when it debuted its Thanksgiving-themed Turkey & Gravy Soda, then followed it up with a six-pack devoted to the holiday meal. Not to be outdone, Lester's has assembled a six pack of wacky soda flavors including sweet corn, pumpkin pie, Buffalo wing, ranch dressing, peanut butter & jelly, and bacon. Maybe the flavors hit the perfect savory-sweet balance — or maybe they're just plain weird.

This protein-packed snack includes a single tarantula that's been dehydrated and given a light dusting of salt, with its legs tucked in to avoid breakage in transit. "The tarantula is ready to eat from the bag. You can eat every part," the seller says, offering optional instructions to remove the spider's hair. "All venom was deactivated during the cooking and drying process."

These Chinese delicacies, also known as century eggs and hundred-year eggs, are preserved with a mixture of charcoal and quicklime, in which they steep for several weeks or months. Taking a bite requires overcoming what may be, to the newcomer, a rather off-putting appearance: They look rotten and can take on sickly hues of green, purple, and near black.

Qurut is a favorite snack of Uzbekistan nomads, who pack fermented and dried milk curds for travel. The food follows the Central Asian tradition, which differs from the European tradition of preserving milk by adding rennet and making cheese. The producers claim the snack is rich in calcium and accompanies light alcohol or beer well. If you have trouble buying, it's not that hard to make.
