ScoMo explains ‘GLARING blunder’ in homemade curry - PerthNow

When he’s not hitting the campaign trail or playing the ukelele, our Prime Minister might be seen cooking up his favourite dish — curry. But if his latest efforts are anything to go by, many think Scott Morrison should stay out of the kitchen. ScoMo took to Facebook to brag about his latest creation for his “night at home” — Sri Lankan Tamarind Eggplant, Okra curry and a chicken korma. And he even offered a side dish of cringe with a fresh campaign slogan. “Strong Curry. Strong Economy. Stronger Future,” he wrote to his 814,000 followers. But it was the photographic evidence of his cook-off which raised eyebrows among his followers. Eagle-eyed social media users were quick to point out something not quite right about his korma dish. In the carefully-staged image, one glaring piece of chicken stood out in an alarming shade of pink. And the PM was peppered with dozens of comments from armchair MasterChefs. “How good is raw chicken?” mocked one Facebook user. “fair dose of salmonella for those who have a go.” “Lovely piece of raw chicken centre right of frame!! Enjoy!” added another. “Handy hint. You are supposed to cook the chicken before serving it,” joked another. Responding to the critics, ScoMo, insisted he hasn’t been treating his family to half-cooked meals. “I can reassure you, the chicken was cooked,” he wrote on Facebook on Monday. It’s not the first time his love of a home-cooked curry has landed him in trouble with social media users. In 2020, during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a post about his “Lamb Rhapsody” appeared to take a pointed dig at WA’s strict hard border. “It’s been another very busy day as we work to help Victoria get on top of the #COVID19 outbreak as well as working through some issues in WA,” the Prime Minister wrote. “And while we don’t always get there, whenever I’m home on a Saturday night, I try to make it a family curry night. Tonight is Lamb Rhapsody from Rajasthan. Our girls and Jen loved it, and so did my mum who is with us.” Furious West Australians, hit back at Mr Morrison, calling for the Federal Government to “leave WA along” and spammed the Prime Minister with the hashtag #IStandWithMarkMcGowan. And Anthony Albanese hasn’t been immune to his own campaign blunder on social media. The Labor leader took to Twitter on the weekend to share a snap of his beloved cavoodle Toto, watching on as he did a series of live crosses. But the picture was swiftly deleted from social media as it clearly showed the wannabe prime minister’s phone number on Toto’s collar.
