Behold The Cthurkey, An Octopus-Stuffed Turkey With Crab Legs

The food-stuffed-inside-another-food craze appeared to have reached its pinnacle with the Turducken and the Pumpple. That was before the culinary monstrosity that is the Cthurkey — a turkey stuffed with octopus.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu — the surf and turf was actually created a few years ago by Rusty Eulberg, a database administrator from Lubbock, Texas.

It wasn’t until the Cthurkey reared its ugly head again on Twitter, where it went viral, and started giving everyone awesome ideas for Christmas Dinner.

  1. Pingback: Thanksgiving...
  2. PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals… because all Gods creatures look good next to mashed potatoes.

  3. Wouldn’t it make people have ideas for Thanksgiving dinner, not Christmas dinner? You don’t stuff a ham; I guess you could.

  4. I want to stuff a vegan head first into a gutted pig and then fill the vegan with delicious pork sausages. It will be long pig, short pig, with little piggies inside.

  5. Finelli, how are you respecting life by eating a different form of life? If anyone tries to say that eating a plant is better because animals are living, breathing creatures, they are the epitaph of stupid. Plants are alive. They require food and water and they breathe. They breathe in the carbon dioxide we exhale and breathe out oxygen. And new scientific studies found that they do, in fact, respond to sound.

    Counter argument: you are eating only plants, the reason we can breathe. More plant matter gets killed for you. Vegans are killing humans by dwindling the fresh oxygen supply.

  6. Respect life by eating vegan? Nah, I’ll respect it by hunting this weekend for free meat to eat. Definitely the better option all around. Opening season is tomorrow afterall. 😀

  7. haha. This is crazy.

    Also vegan lady should take it easy. Its all in good fun. And I’m sure all of it was eaten. None was wasted.
