"A farm raised relative of Rudolph."

This is what London-based company, **Edible**, prints on a can of [reindeer pate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castle-maclellan-products), just one of many unusual "delicacies" that can be purchased from their web site. Other tasty treats include Thai Green Crocodile Curry, [Chocolate Covered Scorpion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs), Worm Crisps, Lizard Wine, and Civet Coffee. These "strange but true" flavors offer the adrenaline junky a chance to get their kicks from food - something that won't kill them but yet, still offer a rush.
