perns2002 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I think what they mean is the techincal term for a sauce with meat which is gravy...........We look at it like sauce is red, gravy is brown for turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandy76 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Originally posted by perns2002 No that is disgusting and butchuring my beautful languageIt's Calamari and Marinara........ I was always confused by that, 'cuz my italian-american boyfriend was adamant that calamari was prononced gol-a-mod, but when I would go out to eat with people visiting from Italy they would simply pronounce it the way it looks - weird!! Why don't those customs from Italy transfer to the Italians in the tri-state area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
