英语词汇a chicken in every pot的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

a chicken in every pot. Often attributed to Herbert Hoover, this synonym for prosperity was, indeed, a Republican cam- paign slogan during the election of 1932—a ridiculous one that helped the Democrats more than the Republicans, with the Great Depression gripping the land. The words can actually be traced to Henry IV of France and his vow on being crowned king in 1589: “If God grants me the usual length of life, I hope to make France so prosperous that every peasant will have a chicken in his pot on Sunday.” Assassinated in 1610 when only 57, Henry wasn’t able to provide such prosperity.
