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

Different perspective / explanation: Coffee works and tastes better while on other drugs.

In this case, it was because the character (Gale Boetticher) was really good at making both meth and coffee.

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

Source/link? It’s the dark web, you can look yourself. I’m not going to go spelunking for it.

You won’t do the work to back your own claim? Ok, well add me to the list of people calling bullshit then. Besides, who, but s cannibal would know the different between a leg of veal pork, and a... leg? Occam’s Razor says the books are jokes, pranks, or scams, and/or that you’re bullshitting. In the absence of evidence at least.

Well for starters you can try checking the watchpeopledie subreddit and look for human stew. I don’t work for free, I’m barely giving a fuck away.

If you can’t back up an extraordinary claim, and “lots of cookbooks for cannibals” is pretty extraordinary, don’t make claims. If you don’t give a duck, are lazy, whatever, don’t waste your time making claims. It’s really simple, unless you’re wasting everyone’s time for amusement, and there’s a name for that.

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

I think it’s pretty clear, they are taken from human trafficking victims. Organs and such might be taken from people that are dying as a “donation”, maybe the family gets a payout. Though I imagine the best quality comes from healthy humans.

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

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.

Morgues absolutely do not embalm, they refrigerate. A body in a morgue is either unidentified, awaiting autopsy/examination, or yet to be claimed. None of those categories permit embalming, and in any case, morgues are not funeral homes.

I honestly expected it to be 90% drugs, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the diversity of the items.

Perhaps the other items are sold as a kind of cover-up, somehow?

Knock-offs, and stolen merchandise are often sold by the same criminals who sell drugs. Aside from street dealers who are dealing to get their next fix, it’s not as though drug dealers have some need to restrict themselves to one lucrative market.

A 1oz [Counterfeit] Canadian Gold Coin for $30 The description doesn’t indicate it was sold as a counterfeit, but no way you can buy an oz of gold for $30 on the dark web... https://wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.bitnik.org/r/021-canadian-gol...

Especially since at the bottom of that part for the coin it lists the weight as 15 grams. That's not 1 oz of gold. To boot, gold is one of those things that doesn't really darken, it tends to stay the same color at any angle, and seeing shadows makes me think that this is in fact a zinc-plated coin, as you can get close to a gold tint with zinc electroplating on copper. That would be more reasonable given the weight, assuming all other dimensions are correct.
