In the first chapter of her excellent and enjoyable book "Gravy Wars," Lorraine Ranalli states that the term gravy is "unique" to South Philly Italians. By "gravy" she means what most people call "sauce" — that tomato-ey stuff that goes on pasta.
I met Lorraine a few years ago when she was at a reading with Lisa Cappuccio. I told her that up here in the North End, we — at least some of us – called it gravy too. She was surprised – just as I was surprised that she thought the word gravy was only used by Italian Americans in South Philly.
