I loved the "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" book. I mean it must something subversive to be sold on the darkweb. Edit: the other object are interesting: credit card, spy camera...

The Darknet has many recipe books for cannibals, often with disturbing (but almost delicious) photos of the resulting meals.

I'm really curious where/how they acquire the main ingredient for those meals.

Source/link? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've heard a lot of crazy stories about what's supposedly on the darkweb, but a lot of it seems to be just that: stories.

Perhaps in morgues? If the corpse going to be cremated, for example, remove a few parts to eat, the cremate the rest.

It's worth reading the bit where it orders ecstasy and gets the exhibit shut down.

Yeah I imagine that in the US, they'd be indicted and accused of using the art project as an elaborate cover-up for a drug importation conspiracy.

Just file an LLC as the owner for the script, sit back, and watch the show.

The dark web/deep web/dark net/whateveryouwannacallit has many legal things sold on it. My favorite story was a few years back, a vendor there was selling drugs. However, they also had their own coffee blend, and they would send a bag of their coffee with every purchase. Turns out the coffee was phenomenal. The vendor started getting so many requests to buy the coffee directly that they were able to just start sellin…

(White takes a sip) "This is incredible... what the hell are we making meth for?!"

It may be location dependant, but IMHO any corpse in a morgue would be full of preserving chemicals to ensure it'd be "presentable" for the funeral, and thus inedible.

Different perspective / explanation:

Coffee works and tastes better while on other drugs.
