You are very welcome. What is nice about it: it has low sodium compared to jarred versions......but the flavor is still there, naturally.

No doubt you are a lot younger than I am......again, my memories are from the 1940's & 1950's. By time the 1960's arrived, we twenty somethings were also calling it "sauce" while the elders still called it gravy......& "macaroni"........while we began calling it pasta.

Long long time ago........however, as we can see by the "movies**"
circa the "turn of the century" plus even later, in "Little Italy" "Lower Manhattan" & beyond...........they also called it "gravy".

No doubt it is "generational" as well as regional.

I must remember that we, at age 70 or approaching 70, are NOT the typical age of folks in THE VILLAGES.......who are much younger, in their 40's & 50's. We never realized that initially.
Now we know. Early retirees. My husband didn't retire till age 66.
