The Cthuken is an Octopus-Stuffed Cooked Bird with Crab Legs

This fine specimen was tweeted by Damana Madden, displaying a cooked bird with crab legs attached to its sides, octopus tentacles protruding out of its cavity and slices of bacon laid on top. What is it exactly? Apparently, this land-to-water beast is lovingly called the “Cthuken,” according to Madden.

Spotted by the folks over at First We Feast, the origins of this strange creature were unknown until Gothamist tracked down its creator. Rusty Eulburg, a database admin in Texas by day, concocted the Cthurkey two years ago when he and his wife “wanted to do something unique for Christmas dinner.” Eulburg notes that although one’s first reaction is usually “Oh my God, I couldn’t eat that,” the Frankenstein meal tastes quite delicious.

 It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to do this with a whole camel stuffed with a lamb stuffed with a chicken. Topped with bacon, of course.
