'Medium rare chicken': Scott Morrison stirs the pot with latest curry post

In the month of April alone, the prime minister posted about cooking curry three times on his Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Scott Morrison's latest curry has raised some eyebrows.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison famously loves making curry.

There are even TikTok videos about it. In the comments section, people have dubbed him 'Scott Kumar,' 'Scomo Khan,' 'Scotty Singh' after he shared the 'Desi Hits' playlist he said he listens to while in the kitchen.

On 9 April, the prime minister posted about cooking for "curry night". On 16 April, he posted another cooking selfie on his social pages captioned: "no curries tonight. Just a BBQ with the family and friends..." By 23 April, he was back on the curries, sharing two more photos.

But it's his newest curry that has really raised some eyebrows on the internet.
On a night in during the election campaign, Mr Morrison posted a picture with the caption: "Nice to have a night at home. So curry it is. Sri Lankan Tamarind Eggplant and Okra Curry and a classic Chicken Korma".

"Strong Curry. Strong Economy. Stronger Future," he wrote.

Social media users, though, had some concerns about the cooking of the chicken, noting the pink colour in some pieces. It could also just be the lighting, but the post has already attracted over five thousand comments.

"Does anyone else think that chicken looks raw?" asked one under his Instagram post.

"I'm a bit worried about that chicken," another weighed in.

"Medium rare chicken," concluded another.
Not all shared their view, with Liberal MP Jason Wood adding positive feedback on the Facebook post.

"Looks amazing I love cooking a chicken curry but alas yours is more impressive," Mr Wood wrote under the post from his official page.

Back in 2018, Mr Morrison used a curry metaphor while addressing Australian troops during his surprise visit to Iraq.

"Last night a few of you got to have a meal with me. We had a curry. I love curries," he said.

"One of the reasons I love curries - there's a point to this story I promise you - is how you pull it all together.
"You start with your oil ... you put your curry leaves in there, you put your spices, your whole ones, it infuses the oil and it's layer upon layer. You might have marinated the chicken, you put some coconut cream in there, it comes out, it's pretty magic.

"How you blend together all of these wonderful different ingredients to produce something which is pretty magnificent is how I've experienced seeing what you do here."

Last year, there was even a "curry conspiracy" where some were uncertain that the ingredients in his cooking prep matched the final product. However, there was no solid evidence of this. The Feed does not know how much coconut milk, for example, the prime minister actually used.

In the past month alone, Mr Morrison has posted three times about curry, four if you count a caption.
Meanwhile, Opposition leader Anthony Albanese's Instagram page is filled with dog pictures, posting three during February.

In April, there were five more, most of his dog Toto wearing an 'Albo 2022' scarf around his neck. Others featured the Labor leader petting random dogs, with one captioned: "Another day, another doggo".
