We need a new name for what yanks call "italian". If they ever actually went to Italia, they'd have a problem identifying anything they call "italian" there.
Braciole is very much a New Orleans dish, and tomato sauce in New Orleans is called red gravy. More Italian immigrants passed through New Orleans than through New York, and many of them stayed and combined their cooking with the native French-Creole cuisine--it is often called Italian-Creole.
@siciliangirl22 Perhaps I should have added that Sicilians were counted as Italian by the IMS, so the majority of the Italians passing through New Orleans were Sicilian
if the base is from tomato. it's sauce, if the base is from meat, it's gravy, and if the base is from flour, it's a white sauce, END OF STORY -- I thought New Orleans had a French influence, how does Italy fit in?
Using hard boiled eggs is something that came from Malta. There we call it Brigiolli.
