Vitiello said that linguistically, “sauce” is a more accurate term— coming from the Italian word “salsa” — meaning a topping.

So where did the term “gravy” come from and why did so many people jump on the gravy train?

Food writer Concetta DeLuco believes the confusion probably started when newly arrived Italian Americans anxious to assimilate started calling their ragu the same thing other Americans called meat sauces — “gravy.”

The term stuck, and people have been using it ever since, though some will tell you they also call gravy “Sunday sauce” because it is what their grandmothers served at big family gatherings after Sunday Mass.

“I think if somebody said ‘gravy,’ we would say it’s ‘Sunday sauce,’ ” Russo said.
