Toowoomba pub's cheeky menu in wake of PM change

A TOOWOOMBA hotel took a cheeky approach to the Liberal Party's leadership fiasco in Canberra last week, putting out a special menu for the occasion.

The Tatts Hotel on Margaret St clearly saw the funny side to the appointment of Scott Morrison as Australia's new prime minister, introducing a list of specials making light jabs at the four main players.

Mr Morrison, now ex-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and failed contenders Peter Dutton and Julie Bishop were skewered in the specials list.

Menu items included:

 - The Turnbull: A 643-day aged eye fillet, over-stayed its welcome in our cold room! Served with a 1963 Grange jus, truffles and pommes frites, hand-wrapped in gold leaf. Enjoy it while it lasts! Price: $529k

 - The Dutton: Potato three ways. Second-grade spuds, burned mercilessly on a coal fire accompanies by Naruan sauce (don't ask us how we got it into the country); half-baked taters with extra sour cream; finally, short and curly fries. Served with a raw onion and roast pumpkin and carrots. Doesn't work well with Greens. Price: POA

- The Morrison: Crowd-pleasingly economical, this signature sandwich is made with freshly-basked, thicker than thick bread and seasonally adjusted with 43 secret herbs and spices. Why not make it edible by adding steak, bacon, egg and homestyle bbq sauce for an additional $17.5? Price: $4.50

- The Bishop: A beautifully-presented Ham Mignon, served with a trio of pulled pork sliders and a side of bacon chips. Doesn't get much better than this! Price: $23.50
