Politician Sharmila Faruqi has been posting regularly on Instagram to keep people entertained during this time of self-quarantine. She has taken to posting videos of herself cooking. And one of the first videos she posted was of her recipe for pan-fried red snapper.
However, she had a bit of a slip of tongue and ended up calling the fish a chicken fillet repeatedly before she revealed that it was a fillet of red snapper.
People caught the mistake right away and of course, there were plenty of memes to go around about the innocent mistake.

But there were some who thought these parodies were uncalled for. However, Natalia clarified that it was just satire and she meant no harm and should be taken lightly.
I wouldn't do that to bring a woman down, I root for women. I'm a comedian who finds comedy in everyday things. It's a satire take it with a light heart.
