Blackwater 53393 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 All the Italians I knew in NJ, which was a considerable number, including family members, call it sauce too!! Gravy is made from drippings from the broiler/roaster or the liquid from the frying pan. You can roast the veggies and purée them or add flour or bread crumbs to thicken it or whatever! When you poke it in yer face, IT BECOMES STUFFING TOO!! There’s a breakfast joint here in town that makes a tomato gravy that’s pretty popular with Schoolmarm. They use puréed tomatoes with the sausage and bacon drippings and spice it up a little. Ain’t my taste, but it seems to make some folks happy. In the South, gravy is gravy as described above. Sauce is a whole ‘nother thang! If you’re a southerner, ya’ know the difference to begin with!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we grow some really tasty heirloom tomatoes! That, too. But that is a ubiquitous North American staple, not a (fairly) regional thing like the Mater Sandwich.
