It's called Gravy NOT Sauce!

[O7ROADKING]

Hello Princess D i am 100% Italian brought up in the North end of Boston Ma. im now 51 years young. and when i was a kid the north end was no different than parts of Italy. everyone spoke Italian and cooked Italian. canned tomatoes NEVER store bought pasta NEVER and yes there were different dialects. but we all called it sauce.the first time i ever heard it called Gravy. was when an Irish guy was making it in Goodfellas . anyway things change mom now 92 uses canned tomatoes& store got pasta

[deardrusilla]

I made your sauce/gravy last night and my family absolutely loved it! I changed up the spices a bit, but other than that I stayed true to the recipe. The meat came out perfectly!! Even the meatballs were great and it was my first time making them. Thank you so much for putting this video on youtube. :)

[leenabeana08]

its SAUCE not GRAVY!

i call my grandmother NONNA not NANNA

and my aunts and uncles ZIA and ZIO

my father was born in bari, italy and worked in italian restaurants since he came over here! he gets mad when people call it gravy!! thats the american way!!!

.. very sensitive subject so annyoing.. glad i got it off my chest..

[MrYougivemefever]

Only in America ... would you call tomatoe sauce , gravy...

you are the only people on the planet to call it gravy..

gravy. is when you use the drippings of you roast or turkey and add flour and make a gravy for you meat....

cooking meat in a tomatoe sauce ... in no way is like tradition gravy...

[ednuk]

brings back mems of times no more, thank you, sadly, times no more for me, things changed and traditions broke

[android2120]

Silly Italian's gravy is brown!

[bergerific]

madexplain should goto italy and stay there,

and Frankie looks like Billy Batts, in the next video can you make him say "Now go get your shinebox!"

[mrm505zo]

Its gravy

[voodoodanny]

That was like watching an episode of The Sopranos! I loved it. I'm British and a big fan of Italian American culture and cuisine thanks to everyone's favourite HBO gangster show.

[samirfuzzywuzzy]

you guys are all retards....... steve marterano said "it's gravy not sauce" ......he said it cause when you go to his resturant it all gravy. Just a figure of speech and if you never been to marteranos then you dont know at all!!!

[madexplain]

Its Sauce! Retards!!! Gravy is for turkey....I go to Italy all the time.. Its Sauce!

[PrincessDiana161]

@madexplain There's a better way of getting a point across than calling people retards...next time you buy a ticket to Italy pick up some class on the way!

[teb0atoz]

@PrincessDiana161 

[teb0atoz]

@madexplain I think it is a gravy as a gravy is a sauce made with meat dripping. So.....

play nice

[chyrd]

@madexplain what's retarded is wanting to argue over a colloquialism...

[alanespinney]

Here in Rhode Island, it's gravy. Always gravy. The big debate here is ground beef and pork vs ground beef, pork, and veal. I love Sunday. I love the food, the company, the homemade wine, the laughter, and the abudonza.

[herroyalpistolness]

lol I really enjoyed your Video its Sauce but hahaha I get humor out of this argument :O)

[reboobyq]

You people are hilarious! I really enjoyed myself... Plus Italian is my absolute favorite cuisine! So I adore the fact that I can watch it being made authentically.

[Minion79]

I LOVE YOU GUYZZZZZZ

[precyshjewyl86]

did that guy really think the cops would be on the lookout for his face??? hmmm so funny. but yeah i would say that a sauce is used where no meat involved and a gravy is mainly for meat anyways so it duznt matter really. but love ur channel diana u make me laugh. always precysh-jewyl

[skaterdude6995]

haha in my family if its got tomato sauce in it its gravy

[titletownAKAboston]

I grew up in the Italian section of Boston. We always called it gravy.

[princewannabe]

I am Italian-Australian and my grandparents are still alive, they migrated here in 1956 along with the other 1 million Italians off the boat that came to Australia between 1951 and 1970, with their children and grandchildren there is nearly 3 million in Australia alone. We all know what you call gravy as Sauce. In Italian it is called Sugo or Ragu (with meat) so whether or not it has meat or no meat in Australia and Italian it is called sauce. Sugo or Napoletano Ragu = direct translation suace.

[all4tubekids]

I miss places like this. There is no real Italian food here in VA. I am originally from NY and move to VA back in 1991.

Lived close to Manahawkin NJ

[goombahdon]

im italian and my whole life ive heard it called both things, ive heard gravy and sauce, so now i just call it savy

[MaryJamesMurdoch]

What's a mook?

[PrincessDiana161]

A mook is a Brooklyn term for moron :)

[MaryJamesMurdoch]

Oh!  LOL! I grew up in the south, so some of your phrases are new to me. I always used the term "meat-sauce." But I guess it's gravy or I'll have to join the mooks, right?! LOL! ;-)

[madisonelectronic]

Now I understand! Obama is a mook. Or a spook. Or (in Chicago) a tizzun.

[gopsu54]

Have a great trip.

[gopsu54]

THERE IS NO REAL WORD FOR GRAVY IN ITALIAN!!!!! Sauce is correct (even Louie says it 2:35). AND Sugo De Carne is meat sauce! The problem is that all my Italian AMERICAN kin want to make it seem like they're authentic and most of them can't pronounce anything correctly. I lived in Italy near La'Aquilla for two years. No one over there knows what "mozerell" is. They know Mozzarella (mowtzarela). I could go on and on. Learn the correct pronunciations Asini!

[PrincessDiana161]

wow you're cranky.... this is the way we speak in NY. Lighten up! Oh and BTW I leave for Italy on Monday. I know behind this crankiness you wish me a great trip :)

(((HUGS)))

[sleonard89147]

So What gopsuck.

[slamminsteve707]

@gopsu54 i know exactly how you feel the same thing goes on in south philly kids thinking they are authentic because they call it gravy. I know people who came to america only a few years ago from Italy and they hate when people call it gravy.

[gopsu54]

Dear GOD!!!! This is enough. I am 100% italian and MY grandmother called it Gravy. You know why???? Becuase it's the closest word they had at the time in the english language.

[stevevaizorz]

Hey I live in Manahawkin! That place sells some good food.

[PrincessDiana161]

I use to live in Manahawkin...I like my town better :D

[Alprazolam]

Don't even start...I should do a video where I walk into Vitamia in Lodi, NJ where I get my Italian specialties. And everyone in there will call it SAUCE! Old school Italians will call it gravy, like my grandma. BUT IT'S SAUCE!

[PrincessDiana161]

It's GRAVY!!!!

[Alprazolam]

It's SAUCE, Di!!!

[PrincessDiana161]

GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alprazolam]

S-S-S-SAUCE!!!!

[PrincessDiana161]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAVY!

[awashcloth]

I learn something everytime I watch one of your videos. I never thought about what to call it-gravy goes on mashed "badadas", and sauce goes on spaghetti. But then again, my hair is red, so what do I know about these things?!

[PrincessDiana161]

In NY there's always this debate between Italians about whether it's called sauce or gravy :)

[celeste821]

Now I understand it's an in house debate. I have always felt insulted the way most Italians belt that at you " it's gravy not sauce". Now I won't take it personal, thank you.

[sb5263]

sorry i mean sauce with meat is sugo,without meat is sarga

[sb5263]

sauce without meat is sugo,americani's say gravey

[s2daoden]

its called sauce down here, and im sure when you go in to a store and buy a jar of SAUCE it say's sauce on the jar, see all the New Yorkers and up north people move down here and like to mess things up. You keep it gravy up there and we will keep it sauce down here lol

[PrincessDiana161]

I never buy jar "sauce" LOL

BTW I love the South! I plan on moving there one day just to mess things up (wink)

(((HUGS)))

[s2daoden]

Im just playin, I have family that moved here from NY and I always bust on them. My Aunt calls it gravy. The funny thing is I seen a guy 1 day walk in to wawa and he asked for a meetball sub with gravy on it, she says, we do not have any gravy here. I said no he means sauce lol. He looked at me and laughed. I said you must not be from around here he replied nope lol. But for the lady that was working at wawa she should of had a clue what he was talking about with the up north accent.

[PrincessDiana161]

We have wawa stores here too.

[s2daoden]

where are you at in nj?

[PrincessDiana161]

I'm near Long Beach Island

[abbyroadme]

Nothing better than getting good Italian and "Gravy". I live in Northern NJ and we call it gravy up here too!

[NewYorkGardener]

I love the video title!(Sauce for my Irish family, but heard gravy plenty of times growing up in New Jersey)

My father lives off exit 58, I'll stop in Bruno's one day, Thanks for the address!

[PrincessDiana161]

I'm at exit 63...make sure you tell Bruno you saw the vid on YouTube :)

[Xtian913]

I love when you were yelling at someone while Louie was getting you the business card. :P

[PrincessDiana161]

I was yelling at my husband...as usual lol

[breathablenapkin]

My dad is the guy with the green shirt. His name is Sonny.

[PrincessDiana161]

for real?????

[breathablenapkin]

yup! :D

[PrincessDiana161]

did he see it yet?

[breathablenapkin]

yeah he was laughing.

[PrincessDiana161]

This is awesome ...cause I was gonna upload it to my ipod and bring to the shop for them to see :)

I'm glad he liked it!

[breathablenapkin]

lol ^.^

[angeleyz63]

Everything looked yummy!  The East Coast Rocks! I hear the food is way better than here in Cali.

[PrincessDiana161]

Just a different style :)

But it's all good!

(((HUGS)))

[gijoedaisy]

Lol, I have the Dean Martin singing figurine that Bruno's has on their back shelf. That's Amore! :D

[PrincessDiana161]

I love when people notice stuff in the background...you rock!

[moomay11649]

Oh ~ A South Jersey girl, eh.

Moomay

[PrincessDiana161]

Not really....I'm originally from NY, but moved down here about 5 yrs ago

[moomay11649]

I'm from the Philly area.

Moomay

[gemycat]

that looks like a lovely place!! I grew up in NJ and Philly, I have not seen a nice place like thatin a long time!I also say gravy! I'm also italian too!! great video :)

[NicaOh]

mmmmm....now i wanna eat!

[Tugaki]

OMG! I just watched this video.. and I busted out laughing at the end! Don't be a mook.. yeah yeah SHUT UP! haha too funny.

[PrincessDiana161]

LMAO but you know I never call you Mook...I loves you!!

[violettfem]

You just made me homesick for my old neighborhood salumeria. I haven't been there in 3years.

I love tiramisu` !! I used to make it myself.

I swear Di, you remind me of my Favorite Aunt Cathie w/ the sauce -vs- gravy, the gadgets and the cooking.

xoxo

~VI

[PinetreeStudios]

gravy is is made from browining flour in the juices that come from meat when it is roasted you then add water to it to thin it down to the perfect consistancy to pour over the roat meat yorkshire puddings and other vegatables

remember we invented gravy Everything else is sauce you americans sure know how to mess up speaking the queens english

great video I want to go to new york so much those accents are great its like watching the godfather

[PrincessDiana161]

I love messing with the Queen's English (giggles)

[CrazyOneToday]

It's mostly Kings English, we haven't had too many Queens in the UK. Oh no, that didn't come out right. Oops I've done it again!!!

[msbobbie2u]

madone, I loved your video, that was great, Louie is kinda cute too, I make "sauce" myself, you ever make or have Pepper Cookies? I got a GREAT receipe...

[PrincessDiana161]

wow that sounds interesting....in case you don't know...I love pepper :)

[PinetreeStudios]

well i love peper but only the hot ones the hotter the better

[PrincessDiana161]

me too...I love all kinds of pepper but hot one are my fav

cheeky monkey :)

[PinetreeStudios]

[PrincessDiana161]

COOL!!

[PinetreeStudios]

[PrincessDiana161]

Yes very very hot....cheeky monkey :)

[PinetreeStudios]

be carefull what you ask for i am growing the world record holder for heat and i am growing a recently descovered chilli (as far as growing) from bangladesh and it is predicted 3 times hotter thats nearly as hot as handbag size pepper spray

[wrongdom]

Don't be a mook!!  Loved this!!

[tdg143]

I love this, the accents kill me. Its like a Sopranos episode at the Meat Market!

If you ask for gravy here, you will get it on your biscuits, chicken fried steak, mashed potatos.

[MaximilianAusBerlin]

I always thought gravies were thickened with flour while sauces are thickened with cornstarch..hence the difference? And I'm with your husband, I love German Deli's and Bakeries too!

[PrincessDiana161]

German Bakeries are the best!!

[lolaknows]

I loved this vid. The guys were great!

[majestic58]

Louie is cute.;)

[cooksterz]

gosh, this place is awesome!!

[OnlyBlackManOnUTube]

Diana you are testimony to the fact that there are only two kinds of people on this planet, Italians and those who wish they were! Nothing is more indicative of this then all the Italian eateries from Pizza joints to Pasteria's you can't go anywhere that they don't have Italian Food!

[PrincessDiana161]

So true

[NutCheese]

Haha... don't be a mook!!!

[bromalayhoohoo]

I'm starving now!!! Can you adopt me? Even though i'm 39!

[PrincessDiana161]

Why not....everyone else ends up here LOL

[bromalayhoohoo]

i've seen

[killthefatties]

In the south, Sauce is red. Gravy is white or brown.

[killthefatties]

Even then. It all depends on what its going on.

[kinjita]

Almost reminds me of the german deli i go to.

[PrincessDiana161]

My husband loves German delis too

[Madrosed]

Hey Jersey girl! I made your shrimp Ajillo last night and everyone LOVED it! Thanks for a great recipe!

[PrincessDiana161]

OMG I'm so glad!!!! I hope you try the Ravioli recipe too :)

(((HUGS)))

[AnnyaMoon]

In the south its bisquits and gravy, and spaghetti sauce and meatballs. In the can or jar its tomato sauce with meat. Thats seem awkward.. Chef Boyardi Spaghetti and Gravy. I love diffrent cultures.

[BellaBKNY]

Brooklyn Italian girl here lol i love this.. sounds like my family when we get together.. hell sounds like me when i tawk :P

[PrincessDiana161]

Brooklyn ROCKS!!! My husband is from Brooklyn :)

[azsteve]

Macaroni? Pasta? Noodles?

What do you call them in Jersey?

My family is from NY and we never called our sauce gravy. Whether it had meat or not it was still sauce. Is gravy a Jersey/Sopranos thing? :)

Even though you call your sauce, gravy, I still like you princessdi.

I'm just busting balls.

[PrincessDiana161]

We call it either Pasta or Macaroni.

If it has meat we call it Gravy, Sauce is just marinara

I'm originally from NY...only lived here in Jersey for 5 yrs now.

(((HUGS)))

[azsteve]

My grandma always says with her NY accent "want some macaroni...I'll make macaroni"

[progrockman]

I'm gettin' hungry over here!!!!! Forget about it! Happy Memorial Day, God bless!!!!

[ItalianStallionette]

I freakin love you two! Italian people fuckin rock! Not that I'm bias or anything. BTW, diana, youz lookin saucy girl.. Very hawt!

[PrincessDiana161]

(((HUGS)))

I wanna have you and Shari over to dinner soon with the kids :)

I'll make a Gravy

[hanako]

I loved this video so much I added it to my favorites!!! I don't add videos willy-nilly, my friend! Love you, Diana!!! xoxo

[PrincessDiana161]

Sukatra and you have the best Stickam names lol

(((HUGS)))

[UFGatorJenn]

That's an owner I would like to "work" for :o)

[MissysMania]

I would LOVE to have a place like that close by! I'm jealous!! :-)

gypsyfirestorm

[vonny100765]

my mouth is watering, not had a good old homemade meal for ages, roast beef, Yorkshire puddings roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, veg and loads of gravy yum

[tripplehelix]

OMG!! They have proper gangster names!!! That's awesome!!! Did they realise what you were taping for?... Larrie, Curlie, Paulie.. 3:50 starts to sound like a hold up... gosh, princess can you make a mini gangster movie for us? lol.

[curt344]

I love that idea! Actually, Diana, you should team up with GeneticBlend for an episode of Pesto.

[PrincessDiana161]

I'll have to have a sit down with him about that

[puffie10]

I am so going to check Brunos Meat Market when i am in your neck of the woods

[Mom2AJ]

LMAO I love it...and it makes me miss my grandmother's cooking.

[ladyanarchy82]

the old bald dude looks like mr. slugworth from willy wonka

[SakeBombProductions]

Do they have a website? * I miss the East Coast* ^sigh^

Thanks for the tour!

[curt344]

Do they deliver to Los Angeles?

[PrincessDiana161]

I don't think so but I'll ask :)

[tndragonfly]

"da owna" is quite a hunk of meat himself! mmreow!

That's amore!

cheers,

renae

[Daliwolf]

OMG this video made me so hungry!!!

[bugsinrug]

Oh great....now I am starving and it's bedtime! I love your vids and your sense of humour...I am subscribing! hugs, Chris

[PrincessDiana161]

Love your name....very cute!

[torigirl35]

darn it...makes me miss my momma's cooking...big italian family...i can't even remember the last time i had a good homemade meal. love ya girl...thanks for the memories...

*tori*

[PrincessDiana161]

If I lived near you I'd cook for you all the time:)

LoveYa WantYa  NeedYa!!!

[StephStance]

artichoke is my fav.....

[PrincessDiana161]

Nutcheese loves them too...that's why I mentioned her when I saw them :)

[NightingaleNews]

OMG. I know I keep saying this, but I love your accent! And I love your life!!

That's it, I'm moving to Jersey! :)

[Lethesunshine]

Diana, you're killing me here! I wonder how long it would take me to get to your house? If I leave right now and drive straight through (be sure to wear my diaper) I should be there in time for supper tomorrow! Heehee! (((Hugs)))! ~Mimi~

[PrincessDiana161]

lol diaper...I love that!

[Lethesunshine]

Lol... I live about 15 minutes away from that woman Astronaut!

[PrincessDiana161]

astroNUT is more like it LOL

[texassongbird81]

I wish we had markets like that here in town. I'd enjoy cooking so much more!

[Pipistrello]

If it's in a jar in the store it's called "sauce" and I wouldn't piss in it if it was on fire. If it's made at home with love it's called "GRAVY." End of friggin story!

[PrincessDiana161]

You're so sexy

[Pipistrello]

You got a single sistah? lol

[rhythm7a]

Ah man, if I had access to that place, neither of you two would fit in the front seat. How about I take you to Hawaii where they feature pigs heads and sushi and various seafoods, of course with the heads attached, because that's a whole other meal.

[rhythm7a]

By the way, what do you call a white clam sauce? White clam sauce gravy? Maybe that's not even Italian. I don't know, I count on you all to inform me.

[Pipistrello]

It's still white clam sauce. Or, just clams and (name of pasta).

[rhythm7a]

But it's got meat in it?

[PrincessDiana161]

It's called White clam sauce LOL but there's a red one too....or Fra Diavlo also...that's a red spicy sauce

[rhythm7a]

I'm so confused. Man I'm glad I didn't grow up on the east coast. I considered anything with a sauce like consistency with animal meat in it gravy, or if it was on pasta, sauce. That means cougar, pigeons, raccoons, catfish, ok, I'm making this up, but you get where I'm coming from?

[OnlyBlackManOnUTube]

Ahh back in the days!  When I was a youngster on Long Island!

[cynlynj]

Can't wait to see your meal, yum! Do you ever buy cannoli's from Bruno's?

[PrincessDiana161]

I'm not a big fan of cannoli's.....if I do buy them I get the shell and make my own filling

[germisch]

That was great fun to watch. I used to live in Germany and they are lucky to still have the meat market culture over there... but I agree with the folks upthread, the time is ticking for the mom and pop shop everywhere these days... what a shit world it will be when there are only a dozen big chain stores. That's so nice you are advertising him!

[KindHeartedPsycho]

You're videos are 'real' if that makes sense. More field trips!!

[debbiez112]

great video you are so lucky to have that great market. I can't wait to watch you make the gravy. :)

[Suzbekistan]

I love this video! Reminds me of my days in Brooklyn....sigh! I can even hear what sounds like Frank Sinatra crooning in the background! Thanks for the local flavor!

[parisblonde]

lets all go pig out now!

[rhythm7a]

I love running into you around the net. Are you ready for some more Reeses Pieces? Let me know if you have some other craving.

[NANAHUX]

now I'm hungry Diana! can hardly wait to see you make the "gravy". I'm from the south and our gravy is meat drippings, flour and milk...big difference. PEACE

[mredddogg]

Great video. I wish we had a place like that around hear. All we have are basic generic grocery stores. Love ya darlin, Beth

[undiscovered]

Louie the owner is quite a looker!! Awesome smile! :c) How'd the gravy turn out? scrumptious I bet!

[CrazyOneToday]

I thought it was us in England who invented gravy? Whenever I have meat I love a lot of gravy! It has to cover everything. Meat and vegetables and French Fries. By the way we in England invented fried potato sticks! We call them chips. Hence our national dish of "Fish and Chips" God bless her royal highness the Queen! You know about them Princess Di.

[PrincessDiana161]

I'm gonna make a vid to show you what I mean by gravy :)

[sukatra]

How is it possible you can eat all that great food and still be so thin????

[PrincessDiana161]

it's all the sex that keeps me thin ....j/k

[CrazyOneToday]

Sex and meat! No answer to that!!!

[JKS02]

So put down those egg noodles with ketchup and stop being a just a regular schnook : )

[kidblood1]

Wow that made me hungry..

[PrincessDiana161]

wait till you see the one of me makin da Gravy :)

[CrazyOneToday]

"Hot stuffed peppers, you want them? You love them"

Did you buy them? I am an accent whore. When I meet people I suck in their accents. I can't help it. I hope they don't think I'm taking the piss when I end up talking like them! Yes it's gravy not sauce!

[CrazyOneToday]

Bt the way I love this video.

[PrincessDiana161]

Yes we did buy the stuff hot peppers :)

[jinxie3334]

Love your videos. What's a mook?

[PrincessDiana161]

Mook = Asshole in Brooklyn :)

[jinxie3334]

So I can call my ex hubby a mook and he will have no clue lol. Ohio

[PrincessDiana161]

Yeah!!!! LOL

[MrsE24179]

yum yum to louie da owna
