Listen I just called it gravy here bc that’s what I hear ppl call it. Where I’m from it was always sauce.

Most everyone isn’t a meme human with accents that are accentuated as caricatures of a location. In the same way that going to Boston doesn’t necessitate people sounding like they do in Boston films. I don’t try to use a catchphrase amongst friends with a stranger for the same reason.

Half my family calls it gravy and half just calls it sauce. They grew up on opposite sides of delco and are from the same grandparents who got off the boat in the late 20s. It's vaguely comical.

Do they get it mixed and make an Italian ikea special of brown gravy with Italian meatballs and murder turkey covered in red sauce?
