French culinary expression: BON COMME LA ROMAINE
One of two things: either this expression refers to a forgotten Roman woman of legendary goodness, or it is the salad that is featured here, with its undeniably tasty taste...
Where to its unanimously prized taste? In any case, "good like the Roman" is said of a person of great kindness, extreme kindness (we also say, with the same meaning, "good like bread").
A being so good, even, that he becomes the ideal victim of all sorts of calamitous situations, the perfect prey for tricks and other traps.
