SlickSlider Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 I'm saying that its advertised as sauce because it is sauce, not gravy, or they'd be labelling it as gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted December 29 Author Report Share Posted December 29 oh oh... i got yah... but this is an endless debate amongst some of my italian friends... so i was just curious what others thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickSlider Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 Well maybe in Italy it is traditionally called gravy, and called sauce here by American companies to avoid consumer confusion. Or maybe it's a translation thing, and the Italian words for gravy and sauce are interchangable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted December 29 Author Report Share Posted December 29 quite possibly... but they say put gravy on all of it... and i say its sauce... gravy to me is the brown shit for turkeys and pork and chicken... not for pasta etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickSlider Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 Thats what it is for me too, brown shit for meat and potatoes.Maybe to settle it, you should look up old style Italian cookbooks and see how they define their sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalate Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 Question :1. Have these italian friends ever stepped foot in Italy?2. If yes, what part of Italy are they from?The #2 answer will resolve this once and for all ...... BECAUSE NO LIVING HUMAN BEING SOUTH OF ROME (THAT SPEAKS ENGLISH) SAYS GRAVY TO REFER TO TOMATO SAUCE! THEY EITHER SAY THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF "SAUCE" OR OR THEY KEEP THE ORIGINAL WORD FROM THEIR DIALECT WHICH IS GENERALLY EITHER PRONOUNCED "SA'SA" OR "ZA'SA". and the word RAGU is used most generally where there is meat or equivalent in the sauce.

cookie6 Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 I would have to say it depends on whose house i'm in...if I called the gravy sauce in some of my families houses they wouldn't let me eat any of it and if I called the gravy sauce some people would call me a moron.
