The old "sauce or gravy? war" again!!!

Why would anyone call sauce "gravy"? Gravy is what goes on turkey, or potatoes, or biscuits!

Americans of non-Italian origins usually call our Italian sauce "gravy" and the "war" has been a century-old running gag, especially in the 3-state area (well, OK, maybe not "century-old"... but close!).

In the early 2000s, when Bruce Springsteen inc. set up a forum on his official website, there was a famous "sauce or gravy" thread that lasted for dozens of pages and was so hilarious we would spill our coffee on the screen! And then it was exported to other Bruce forums with the same success. I don't know about BJ forums because I didn't read them back then...

I think you're generalizing too much. It might be a regional thing, but I assure you a Southerner would never call spaghetti sauce gravy because it's nothing akin to what we call gravy.

Yes, that's why I wrote "usually" and "especially in the 3-state area". ;)

Lol , in australia a biscuit is a cookie ! Not something we have gravy on ;)

To this ol' Arkansas native that's some fine dining. :D Especially if you toss some sausage in there.

Italian Americans from the New York region call it gravy.

For those about to cook!
