The internet has some thoughts about Liberal MP Dave Sharma’s lasagne

Liberal MP Dave Sharma was trying to be relatable when he shared a photo of his “good” lasagne. The internet had some thoughts.

Does it though?

A culinary brag by a Liberal MP appears to have backfired as the internet well and truly roasted him.

Federal Member for Wentworth Dave Sharma showed off his lasagne on social media on Monday.

On his Instagram story, Mr Sharma wrote “Lasagne looks good tonight”.

It was a claim that may have been dubious at best.

On top of the dish were what appeared to be dry, slightly burnt lasagne sheets. Traditionally, the sheets go under layers of sauce and cheese.

It goes without saying that the internet had some thoughts.

If I was running a campaign against Dave Sharma, I would simply hand out flyers on election day with this cursed image on it. This is a lasagne crime. This is a food hate crime https://t.co/5KfjPXQ8Jr

I appreciate a dad that cooks, but @DaveSharma, you need to apologise to the Italian-Australian diaspora immediately for this… pic.twitter.com/zhaB5ofMyp

It is of course just the latest example of how things can get awkward between politicians and their food. There are no political lines here. It is a truly bipartisan phenomenon.

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese proved that when he shared his socially distanced steak and veg last year.

Shorten & Berejiklian eating sausages the wrong way. People examining ingredients in Morrison's curry cooking photos. Albanese's green & gold steak/peas/corn photo, and Viennetta-gate

Has any politician ever been in a food photo that didn't get a slightly weird reaction
