Sunday gravy, turkey gravy, sausage cream gravy, beef (brown) gravy, tomato gravy, etc?

They mean tomato sauce

Honestly, Villa di Roma makes a pretty nice gravy that they sell in quart containers (not entirely certain if they’re full on open again).

Dude cmon. I learned that word from y’all! I had never heard gravy used in this manner until I moved here. But you know what I’m talking about.

Can’t buy a jar of it, but Little Nonnas Sunday gravy is pretty damn good

I mean Thanksgiving is coming up so just making sure we’re not talking about a different kind of gravy

Not everyone in this city uses that word. My Italian family has never once said it, it’s “sauce.”

Just make Dean Ween's recipe:

It’s more clear if you call it red gravy

They are open

Jawn

You can always pick up a jar of the better stuff and do your own doctoring

This should be higher up. I'm pretty sure this was the first "gravy" I ever made for a big friend dinner, mostly because of a weird love affair with Ween. He makes Sunday gravy seem so easy and achievable, and tossing the pasta with a little cheese to increase stickiness and surface area is GENIUS and I do it every time I make a big pasta dish now. DO NOT burn the garlic!

Ur moms

I friend of mine ordered a chicken parm sandwich with the gravy on the side in Northeast Philly. She got a side of brown gravy .

This is adorable. I’m also a big fan of this recipe from Serious eats https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-slow-cooked-italian-american-tomato-sauce-red-sauce-recipe

I can accurately call tomato sauce "liquid" but that would be just as obnoxious as calling it gravy, so I don't say it.

Good

That’s because that what gravy is! Sauce is red Gravy is brown for mashed potatoes and roast beef!

Nobody believes you didn’t know sauce. Go to any grocery store and post a pic where all jars say tomato gravy instead of sauce. I’ll eat my hat. Italians don’t use that. Using the drippings from meats to make meat gravy and Sunday sauce is where it came from, but doesn’t change the fact that without flour/cornstarch/etc it doesn’t become a roux which is what gravy is. If your upbringing had any of that in the sauce it would instantly be a gross thing. You add pasta water at the end for binding.

Listen I just called it gravy here bc that’s what I hear ppl call it. Where I’m from it was always sauce.

Most everyone isn’t a meme human with accents that are accentuated as caricatures of a location. In the same way that going to Boston doesn’t necessitate people sounding like they do in Boston films. I don’t try to use a catchphrase amongst friends with a stranger for the same reason.

Half my family calls it gravy and half just calls it sauce. They grew up on opposite sides of delco and are from the same grandparents who got off the boat in the late 20s. It's vaguely comical.

Do they get it mixed and make an Italian ikea special of brown gravy with Italian meatballs and murder turkey covered in red sauce?
