I think my favorite food of all time is the classic Spaghetti and meatballs.
Ah yes, the great innovation of Italian immigrants in New York City. Spagetti and Meatballs have probably been around since the early 20th century.
That is a long time. I mean you can't go wrong with it, it is such a classic and can be prepared many ways.
How do you like Barbeque? That's another example of American Cuisine. BBQ probably even dates back to early native americans.
I prefer Spaghetti and meatballs. Now, do you call it sauce or gravy, that is the question.
I call it sauce, sorta like a Salsa di pomodoro or Neapolitian. I have heard my Italian friends call it gravy, but I'm not certain of the distinction.
I am part Italian but have never called it gravy. I usually just call it sauce. My aunt makes really good meatballs.
I'm from the south, so I naturally think of gravy as a sauce made from meat juices with flower added after. I'll usually add some spices and whatnot and serve with biscuits.
