thepulse Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 If its traditional, with pork, veal, beef in the mix, then it is gravy, due to the fact that the meat is in there. If it just contains tomatoes, spices, etc, no meats, then it is sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perns2002 Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 I am right off the baot moved here when I was 9 and it is most def. Sauce. Only American-Italian like 3rd or 4th generation call it GRAVY. GRAVY is brown and it goes on mash potatoes and meatloaf, not pasta. SAUCE, it's SAUCE. The only conection Sauce has to Gravy is it definition: Containing meat........... but it is still sacue.................. GOT IT.................... SAUCE say it with me SSSSSSSSSAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAUCE say it with me SSSSSSSSSAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE What about Greek gravy?..........its a red sauce with an eyeround roast beef soaked in it. Slightly different from an Italian SAUCE, because I believe there is some cinnimon in it. Tastes real good, yet I don't put it on mashpotatoes and always called it gravy. Also I am a 3rd gen. Amer-Italian who calls sauce gravy..........sorry Perns2002...............please forgive me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
