"What's good for the goose, is good for the gander".
I don't know if that's a regional expression, but that's the phrase I've heard all my life.
Now what is this "sauce" Mitt Romney speaks of? I've never eaten anywhere that serves goose, so I didn't know that it even comes with a sauce. I've certainly had "duck sauce" from the asian carry-out down the street, I put it on my egg rolls. Is that the same thing?
Perhaps it's how the wealthy admonish someone who wants everything their way, but doesn't that describe every rich person in the country? If so, that leaves me with a range of culinary questions.
Does goose sauce come in tiny packets that are difficult to open, or do they bring a full bottle to the table? Was there once a time that there were two different sauces, dependent on whether one ordered a male or female bird, and that led to the expression from a snooty maitre'd? Do the wealthy actually get to choose between goose or gander when ordering at their fancy bistros? Why?
One thing I do know is that if Romney can't find some common social ground with the working stiff in this country, he'll wake up election day and realize he cooked his goose early on, and may as well spend the evening getting sauced.
