Senate election foes Romney and Wilson agree on one thing: they’re pro-fry sauce

Former Massachusetts governor and Republican Senate candidate Mitt Romney may not be as Utahn as fry sauce, but he does enjoy the state’s signature — and divisive — hybrid condiment.

Asked about his dipping habits, Romney told The Tribune that he had eaten tater tots and fry sauce during his lunch on Wednesday, and joked about the need for the Beehive State to purse legal action against the H.J. Heinz Company over its new “Mayochup Saucy Sauce” product.

“[It] is an outrage, a breach of copyright and good taste,” Romney said of Heinz' ketchup-and-mayonnaise blend.
