People are weird. They cook and eat the strangest things. This time it’s an octopus stuffed inside a turkey, sitting on top of crab legs, and (optionally) garnished with bacon strips. This monstrous culinary invention was inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, and honestly… it looks like a crime against Thanksgiving and food in general.
Cthulhu (pronounced as Khlûl′-hloo) is a cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was introduced in his short story The Call of Cthulhu in 1928. Considered a Great Old One within the pantheon of Lovecraftian cosmic entities, this creature has since been featured in numerous popular culture references. Lovecraft depicts it as a gigantic entity worshipped by cultists, in the shape of a green octopus, dragon, and a caricature of human form. So pretty much like the dishes you see in this gallery.

What a waste of food.
Those who study Lovecraft’s writings are far more intelligent than those who do not.
Those “creations”…..? A crime against food and culinary arts….. A crime against humanity, as well…..
What in the barnacle infested, ain’t-got-no-pearl-in-my-oyster, got some sand dollars to pay for the seashells by the seashore, ran outta crackers for my clam chowder, seaweed for mustaches, pineapple under the sea, crab-cakes gone cold, frozen deveined shrimp, stole a mermaid’s purse and regretted it, got a shark tooth poking my side, Floridian madness is this?
This looks yummy
I think they look delicious! I’d love to try them!
