My maternal and paternal grandparent emigrated from the Campania (Napoli) area. In my American-Italian family you were required to debate politics and religion. However any disucssion of food,( recipes) could get you in real trouble and the eleven pages enclosed herein are testimony to that caveat.
You will find that people reared in New York City, New Jersey and Boston area are more apt to call sauce gravy red gravy and brown gravy.
I never heard sauce called gravy until I was well in my 30's
I must be right because that restaraunt in Lake Sumter landing is not called Red Gravy, its called Red Sauce....that's my story and I am sticking to it.
