‘She made one taco from ingredients she can’t pronounce!’ MasterChef fans mock Dani Venn after she butchers the name of a famous Mexican dish

On Sunday’s episode of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win the contestants faced an elimination challenge. 

Opting for something safe, Dani Venn opted for what she called an upmarket restaurant quality taco. 

When asked what she was making, the 34-year-old proudly listed off her dish for the judges – but she mightily messed up the pronunciation. 

Spanish lesson: On Sunday’s episode of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win Dani Venn (pictured) messed up the pronunciation of the Mexican dish pico de gallo

‘Seared beef taco with a tomatillo salsa and a pico de gallo!’ she said, stumbling over the pronunciation. 

Instead of the usual pronunciation of  peek-o-day-gy-o she bizarrely rambled ‘picker de gallow’. 

Dani laughed as she stumbled over the phrase and admitted, ‘[I’m] so bad at pronouncing things!’ 

Looks good! She made seared beef taco with a tomatillo salsa and a pico de gallo

And fans at home caught onto the fail, with some taking to Twitter to mock the chef for her flub. 

One person Tweeted: ‘What kind of chef/cook doesn’t know how to pronounce pico de gallo’.

Another wrote:  ‘Reynold has so many intricate elements that he forgets some and Dani makes one taco from ingredients she can’t pronounce.’

Someone else chimed in: ‘If someone claims Mexican food is their jam they should learn how to pronounce pico de gallo.’

Yet one more person watching at home joked: ‘Dani jinxed herself saying Mexican was her ‘jam’.’

The dish was not a success with the judge complaining the tortilla was too thick and the meat not cooked through.
