Red Gravy

I'm shocked that no-one has made mention of the alternate use of the word "gravy" to mean "sauce" (specifically tomato sauce). I live near a lot of Italian-Americans (and, admittedly, dine with them as often as possible because the food is fantastic), and without qualification they use the word gravy to mean (pasta) sauce. Can someone better informed than I add information about this to the article?

I suppose I could qualify, seeing as my grandmother was born less than a month after her parents got off the boat. Basically, "gravy" is used whenever the sauce in question is cooked with meat in it (pork, meatballs, etc.) and is usually only served with pasta. This is used by at least one family in Italy (my grandmother's cousin), and is probably more widespread than that. "Sauce" is used when it is not meat based, such marinara, most alfredo sauces, and especially pizza sauce. Counterfit 06:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Gravy In Popular Culture

Do not delete the popular culture section. It's all valid. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.39.141.10 (talk) 16:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

When reading the sentence in the opening paragraph regarding ready-made cubes and powders, it implies they have been around "recently". I would question this, as Gravox, a brand in Australia, has been making Gravox powder product since 1917; that's ninety (90) years so far.

Recently, extracts have tended to be bought in the form of ready made cubes and powders.

The link in the first bullet under 'Gravy in popular culture' is broken. I fixed it, only for it to be automatedly reverted. maybe it should be removed altogether?

Agreed with the above. I also fixed it just to have it reverted by a bot. It should either be removed or allowed to be reverted.

Lumpy gravy

"How to Avoid Lumpy Gravy"? That's just silly. *removed* -Shai-kun 07:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Is Soup Gravy, Or Not?

My wife and I have gotten into a bit of an argument. She says that there is no difference, in final product, between soup and gravy. You can use soup as gravy, make soup from gravy, and eat gravy like soup. I say this is not true. Any thoughts? Should we merge gravy into soup?-- --207.225.245.31 01:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)t. sanchez

British gravy renowned for being thick?

Any sources to back this up? I've only ever come across thin gravy in the UK. Segat1 23:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC) Have removed this statement. --APW 10:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
