kid kinda said what i was gonna say which is this. basically when the italians came to america, they misunderstood the definition of gravy. so, basically the confusion came with the translation, however by english definition, gravy is made from the fat that drips off meat or poultry during cooking and is thickened up and seasoned. sauce is made from tomatoes or i guess whatever else you'd like to make it. in england people call ketchup tomato sauce so add that for some more confusion. but basically, if you're gonna speak english you should call the red stuff sauce and the brown stuff gravy. thank you have a nice day.
