Okay, inspired by the Lego Cthulu thread, i got to thinking… if Cthulu (lets say hed taken on humanoidish form like in the [User Freindly](http://userfriendly.org/) comic strip, do a search for Cthulu for strips featuring him) ) walked into a sushi resturant, how would the chefs react to him, would they be driven insane, or would they use him for sushi, after all, sushi chefs are used to working with octopus and squid as food… ---

I would definitely have to say insane. After all, he is bigger then most squids. Bigger then most ships, come to think of it. ---

I don’t think Cthulhu would be in any danger of being sushified. After all, sushi is no good if it isn’t fresh, and Cthulhu is one of the Great Old Ones. Can you imagine a menu item, “Great Old Sushi”? Naaa. On the other hand, I can imagine Donnie Joe’s Downhome BBQ serving up a heapin’ platter of Shub-Niggurath ribs. ---

Or maybe Cthulhu’s like those giant squid that I’ve read about over the years – apparently they aren’t good eating due to ammonia in their flesh. 😛
