Cthulken - yum yum




Small children may want to look away. A picture of something Lovecraftian called the Cthulken has gone viral.

It seems to be an octopus shoved inside of a turkey with king crab legs coming out of the sides and strips of bacon on top. It's Thanksgiving meets the deep sea and a Las Vegas seafood buffet on a plate.

The man behind this creature is named Rusty Eulberg from Lubbock, Texas, who created the Cthulken two years ago. "Basically my wife and I were going to have Christmas dinner with another couple 2 years ago," said Eulberg. "Jennie and I made a joke about Cthulhu Christmas or 'Cthrismas' and then we started shopping...."

Eulberg cooked the crab, turkey and octopus separately, then assembled them on a serving platter for presentation. He then added the strips of bacon on top as a "flavoring trick."

If it weren't for the octopus, it might be great, but that just makes it too terrifying to eat.
