I know that you are just kidding -- but no tomato throwing here anyway. If someone has tomatoes they need to be turned into sauce. It is Sunday, and I am Italian-American.  Not that I make Sunday-sauce, but I did grow up with it. What's the difference between sauce and gravy? Way late to answer this but...calling it gravy is something that some Italian-American families did in an effort to be very American. My experience is that this was mostly done by Scilian-Americans and that Italian Americans who came from Rome and Naples mostly called it sauce. In Italian sauce is salsa and it is made from raw or cooked, pureed or relatively smooth ingredients, meat can be added. If you put a lot of meat in a sauce and simmer it all day, it is call a ragù. This is more commonly found in Northern Italy. The Italian equivalent of gravy is sugo is made from meat juices or pan drippings. The idea of thickening pan drippings with flour and butter to make gravy (like American gravy) is not an Italian culinary tradition, it is French. There really is no Italian cuisine, but a lot of distinct regional cuisines. There is a lot of difference between the food found in Italy and traditional Italian-American cuisine. Spaghetti and Meatball, for example, was first made by Italian-Americans in New York. [Similarly, Caesar Salad was invented in Tijauna, Mexico and Fried Zucchini in San Francisco.] The largest number of Italian Americans came to the US from Naples (conquered by Italy in 1861), Sicily (conquered in 1860) amd other parts of what is now southern Italy. Others came from many parts of Europe that were inhabited by Italian people in the 19th century were not part of the Unification. There immigrants brought a very diverse range of local, village and family culinary traditions. My family is a mix of Italian Americans from Lazio (south of Rome), Campagne (north of Naples) and somewhere in Sicily -- plus a bit of Scots-Irish American just for good measure. I have worked very hard to document some of the recipes from my family and interviewed/corresponded with dozens of relatives in several countries. No one in my family every called it gravy. I have only heard that on TV. |
