OH!
This is called an octopus here in Japan and I used to cut the kids' sausages like this for their lunches under the assumption that it is cute and the kids love their suasages looking like little octopuses, but I never got any comments if they really liked them like that or not so I stopped.

Because of this photo, I remembered to buy some spicy brown mustard today when I was at the store.

This thing looks like a startled octopus!

Oh, my!!  Well, that does put an interesting spin on an American favorite.

Besides, I've always preferred my minced mystery meat posed in the shape of a banana.

Looks good!
In Japan, most packed lunches (obento) are prepared to look cute. Among the foods found in a lunch box is called a tako wiina or octopus wiener-- hotdogs cut in half and made to look like a little octopus. Check it out by searching through Google.
