anthonyp Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 My father's side calls it gravy and my mothers side calls it sauce. I personally call it sauce, all depends what part of Italy you came from and what your parents taught you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyblackroc Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Originally posted by ch0sen0ne IT'S SAUCE.....AND THAT'S FINAL ....."FANGUL" Here is the 411, goombah"s (another American word):It's called gravy in Southern Italy b/c of the fact that they use more meat in the "SAUCE" which causes it to be a brownish color. It is called "SAUCE" in the northern sections of Italy b/c of the lack of meat and the mountainous regions that lend to the reddish color.CIAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPYGIRL3 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 This is funny. No one I know calls it gravy. Gravy is brown and sauce is red, usually with meat. Whatever....I could careless either way, but that's my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightangel Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Both sides of my family are from Italy. I never once heard my grandma or mother say they were making a pot of "sauce" on Sunday afternoon. You make a pot of GRAVY. Once it's on the macaroni, it can be called sauce, but not when it's cookin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jersey77 Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I was going to ignore this post but i am the one who posted the original gravy comment. First off gravy is anything made with meat. Tarter sauce, Soy sauce, Apple sauce, those are sauces, and they are not made with meat. Throw some meatballs, sausage or pork in there and you have gravy. I can give a shit what the hell malto mario says, he's not even cooking for italians, Italians don't watch him to see how to cook, he probably doesn't even pronounce the words of the meals properly.I live in northern NJ which is one of the most densely populated Italian sections of the country, home of the Soprano's, who by the way call it Gravy. Most people around here call it gravy. Hey, but people have been fighting about this for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
