Woman spots embarrassing detail in friend's perfect food photo

Long gone are the days of tucking straight into a delicious meal, and many people now find it necessary to take the perfect snap before they start eating their tea.

Getting the angles and the filters just right is very important if you want to make sure your dinner is Instagram-ready.

But one woman made a rather embarrassing mistake when sharing a photo of the meal she was about to eat on social media.

The snap showed a Thai green curry with rice, peppers and corn, with a caption about her ‘homemade’ dinner.

But what she forgot to do was move the packaging out of the snap. Oops.

At the side of the shot is a Waitrose ready meal packet, which casts some doubt on her cookery claim.

People were quick to pick up on the error and one pal took screengrabs and shared them.

She wrote: "Instagram in a nutshell."

Her post has been liked more than 300 times and people are finding the awkward fail hilarious.

The woman isn’t the only one who has been scrutinised for a picture this month, and Kim Kardashian found herself in the centre of a Photoshopping storm.

Fan site accused her of tweaking a photo of her five-year-old daughter North to make her look slimmer.

People were quick to point out that North’s young frame appeared to have been taken in to make her belly look smaller.

However, a source close to the star told Mail Online that Kim would never mess with pictures of her kids.
