Culinary experts say that presentation is important, but we’re not sure this is what they were talking about.
Presumably born from some twisted chef’s nightmare, the crabipede is complete with creepy crawly legs and faux pinchers made out of crab legs, and even has a pretty convincing head and backend made of the shells of two crabs. The menacing curl in the crabipede’s body is enough to send lighthearted diners scurrying away.
Even the biggest crab lover might have a hard time eating this strangely arranged dish. Sure, when it comes down to it, it’s only a bunch of crab meat, legs, and shell, but the thought of dismembering and eating a giant centipede is enough to deter most people. Would you dare to take a bite of this bizarre beast?
