Love you Skyguy and all your posts. In due respect, I "hear you" and yes we all call it sauce today......so any poll conducted nowadays would turn out to be "sauce wins".
I'm referring to back in the 1940's and 1950's LITTLE ITALY NEW YORK CITY where my paternal grandparents came in 1890 from a little mountain village in southern Italy.
I understand the translation from sugo.
But I also distinctly remember my aunts, my grandmother, all the cousins and relatives.......plus my own dad and mom calling it "gravy". This was way before any bottled or jarred sauce appeared on the market. In those days it was made from scratch. The Sunday Gravy had meat in it.
Many types of meat.
I did my own survey once and "gravy" was typical of immigrants to New York City's Little Italy whose children then moved to northern New Jersey, etc. It might be different for those who settled in Chicago or elsewhere.
Can we argue with GOODFELLAS???????????? See the Sunday gravy,etc?
Goodfellas Foods
Can we argue with the notorious SOPRANOS?

It will make everyone happy to see “sauce” used interchangeably.

Please scroll down on the above hyperlink. It's definitely a regional expression as to whether one calls it sauce or they call it gravy.
This is an interesting article............
