I think Martha missed the mark on this one....

Martha Stewart posted this on Instagram yesterday.  I've always been an admirer of hers, but I don't know what she was thinking with this one.

Your thoughts?

@house_cat   In my book that is a fail.  Nice to know she has a culinary misstep or two.  I don't think i would have shared it on Instagram.

 

A molded seafood salad might have worked better . . ..

Reminds me of the movie "Alien"...

It doesn't bother me.  I think it is a creative use of an old mold for a dessert.  Lobsters are dark red like that--so I'm fine with it.  I'd be happy to partake at a party.

I like all the ingredients, but I'd be every bit as likely to enjoy them presented in pretty individual portions.  I know presentation can be a big deal, but I can't remember ever being in love with a molded offering.

Does not look very appetizing. I don't want my dessert to look like a lobster. That's not dessert that's the main course. LOL!!!

I'll still take mine broiled with herb butter, thank you.

It may be clever but it's not very appetizing, I'm afraid.

not sure why this is a "fail?"

i think this is great, especially if having a seafood party or a crab feast.

perfect for a summertime party/gathering.

the dessert  looks good and tastes good i bet!
