No, this is not a manifestation of Cthulhu on Earth, though I can understand the mistake. This is the remains of my husband's take out food. It was herring under marinated beets, red pepper, potatoes, and mayo. Not the most attractive dish after being half eaten.
My husband didn't like this particular version of the dish much. Why he took a picture of it, I don't know. I can tell you that when the kids and I enlarged this gem from the thumbnail view (trying to figure out what the hell it was), we all drew back from the screen.
