[quote=Turnbull]You know you're Italian if you call tomato sauce "gravy."
You know TB, I never heard it called that until the Sopranos. Maybe it has something to do with our being Napolitan. [/quote
Oli, I hadn't ever heard before either. I think it possibly is a NY or EastCoast thing. My family ALWAYS called it sugu.
Can't remember exact quote from clip, but "No matter what illness, virus, disorder, etc it's ALWAYS cause you didn't eat. LOL I so can relate. Every single time any of us said we didn't feel well, my mom would ask "Did you eat?{"
Tho this tradition was before my time, I do remember my parents saying that wakes were held in the home.
Lunches: I remember bringing eggplant sandwich or such to school, and tho I would have friends ask with a puzzled look,"what's that", I really enjoyed the food and didn't care that what they thought. Beat their PBJ sandwich. ha ha
