When I make spaghetti, it's sauce to me if it has meat or no meat.
Gravy is what I make for foods like pot roast, pork roast & turkey.

Like Brad Pitt and I said--dead cow, dead pig, dead turkey

As I have repeated many times before in my family you were required to discuss politics and religion but recipes, cooking.. no that would get you in a heap of trouble and especially how to make pasta sauce, yes sauce.

Gravy is brown belongs on mashed potatoes in beef stew on french fries and a light brown sauce encompassing one of my all time favorites veal scaloppine

Sauce is red belongs on pasta, polenta or for dipping Italian bread while the sauce simmers on the stove

My mother was religiously devoted to her cooking especially pasta sauce. She used combinations of pork and beef and added chunks of beef just for me ( I was her favorite) . She would let the sauce cool on the stove so that she could remove much of the grease that formed at the top. she made a wonderful marinara sauce. Needless to say our house was always overcrowded with visitors and the more people who visited the more animated she became....to go back to that house for just one more meal

If I called pasta sauce gravy she would have washed my mouth out with soap

And Jimmy at Lasca's calls it SAUCE as well

Mom and all of the family growing up called it gravy. Didn't matter if there was meat in it or not, the red sauce was always called gravy. Actually, it referred to the whole meal. If someone was coming over it was "I'll throw on a pot of gravy". That was ...the gravy, with meatballs, sausage and sometimes bracciole or pork, the pasta (whatever Mom wanted to make that day), a big salad OR antipasta (again, whatever Mom felt like making), loaves of Italian bread, and probably some cookies or tiramisu for dessert. Moved to Florida and met some friends at work from NY and when she said "throw on a pot of gravy", I laughed because it was like "home". They have been my good friends and Florida family for 15 years. So...I'm from Philly, they're from NY. I think it's something our Grandmothers always said, and mine were from Italy. I always remember hearing gravy, not sauce. And, as I'm typing, I'm thinking. We really didn't do a lot of brown gravies growing up, so there was no mix up there, we knew gravy was pasta...or, macaroni, yes, whatever the shape! More often that not, Mom just said macaroni...hahaha!! Funny stuff....good remembering.

Looks like it is going to end up as potato or potatoe
potato or potahto, tomato or tomahto

Who started this anyway? (yes, I know post #1)

As i recall two cousins started that restaurant along with the father of one. the father a dentist was my dentist as a kid. Lasca's is a dream come true. I don't think they are capable of making a bad meal...and their deserts

Your dentist as a kid was my patient in his retirement. Good guy, the restaurant was named for his wife

I know I am confused, but in one post I thought you said you were an OBG. I think it might be time for a martini.
Cheers!

Boy, you ARE confused. Perhaps it was the thread with a woman GYN from Ithaca whose brother is an ortho (mine for 28 years) that just moved to practice in TV. I practice(d) Internal Medicine

Thank goodness! I was worried about the poor dentist and what you may have done to him.

I believe that was the thread that confused me.
