Gravey was and always will be flour and some kind of fat....nothing to do with mountain folk, or rednecks, or yankess...it's universal.

Gravy is a meat-flavoured sauce in my world, completely different from tomato sauce.

@MALUSE In the United States, especially in the southern states, it's still very popular. I remember that gravy was often served, but it's something I do not like, it's too fat.

@LadyDuck @jaboUK Gravy is something horrible when it comes to healthy eating. It was used a lot in the German cuisine and was responsible for making people fat. Now it has nearly disappeared. I never make it.

Tomato gravy I can tell you how to make, I am sure its a southern thang, Tomato sauce is just something for pasta etc. Gravy is flour base rue or corn starch thickened broth. But what do I know? I am in the USA and I am Irish

Gravy? We do not know what gravy is in Italy Alfredo. We call it tomato sauce (salsa di pomodoro, or sugo) if there is no meat inside and "ragù" if there is meat inside.

@amadeo Alfredo we do not use gravy in Italy, so there is not a name for it.

We have tomato sauce and we have gravy as well, which is brown. It used to be made browning flour in a little fat then adding hot water. Nowadays you can buy it in a powdered form and just add boiling water.
