I did not learn about "gravy" till I moved to Philly. I have watched people argue over and over whether one should refer to it as "gravy" or "sauce." From what I gather from friends here...gravy is a slow-simmered tomato base that typically includes meat--sausage, pork, beef, etc.
It is often referred to as "Sunday gravy"...as many start a pot early in the morning on Sunday and it is simmered for several hours...till the family arrives for the feast.
