Good question. Gravy is a subset of sauce, usually made from meat drippings.
I know many Italians who refer to tomato sauce as gravy.
But for an Irishman, gravy is made from meat droppings and they make gravy the best:
Start out with eye round for a roast beef.
Cook (meat should be 120 degrees)
Take drippings from bottom of pan and put in oil/gravy
separator. Pour off excess grease.
Add drippings back to pan
Add watere
Cook lightly in pot over flame as you scrape all the drippings.
Separately take flour and add cool water. Mix well.
Gradually add flour and water mixture to drippings until the gravy thickens.
Add a little gravy master if you want to darken color.
Make REAL Mashed potatoes and
THEN POUR GRAVY ALL OVER EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
FORGET ABOUT VEGETABLES, OR MAYBE YOU CAN OPEN A CAN OF lESEUR PEAS
And that’s it baby. The Irish National Meal, Sunday dinner.
DITTO….check out the thread above about Brooklyn’s Filipino history. At first glance I didn’t see anything about the preponderance of homosexuality or about Filipno circumcision practices.
I think we all got lost in semantics for an hour there.
basically, I don’t discount scientific theories
as a basis for everyday living and I would venture to
say that most people of faith also believe in science,
heck many of the greatest scientific discoveries and theories were put forth by people of faith.
on the other hand,
to use science as a basis to discount or ridicule faith, sets us up for a bad fall as they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Science has many answers but many times it leaves more questions. Man cannot live on gravity alone…we need a little gravy once in a while.
snappy, very hard to get access to the same tomatoes in the same condition of ripeness that the factories use. I don’t have a problem with commercial sauce, altho I very carefully scope the ingredients to make sure they are good.
Having said that, I agree with your recipe, there’s a similar one I use that is nothing but tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. But it only works well these few weeks when we have access to really good tomatoes.
m4l, I might crash party again on Friday.

“Hal, do you call it gravy or sauce???”
