I thought bread was the euphemism for money.

Italians call the red 'sauce' that they put on pasta.....gravy.

No? No, they do not.

For one, there's no such thing as "the red sauce Italians put on pasta".

For another, there's no Italian word "gravy".

I don't know what NeoIorcanio pipe dream you're on, but one thing is clear: you don't know !@*& about Italian cooking.

Not sure what you mean?

Italians put red 'stuff' on their pasta, and they call it gravy. Americans call it sauce.

Fact.

Growing up in an Italian household in New Jersey all my relatives called the tomato sauce we put on pasta and chicken "tomato gravy".

Not gravy - tomato gravy - like it was one word. That is all I knew until I started eating at friend's houses and they called it sauce. But of course that was out of a can. We cooked the tomato gravy from whole (sometimes nasty beat up) tomatoes.

Parsly sauce - I’ve never tasted it, such was the trauma of seeing a boy vomit it back onto his dinner plate when I was about 8/9.

Peanut sauce is popular here in Indonesia [and Malaysia]: elsewhere in this part of the world? I'm not sure. Maybe someone would be able to comment.

You'd typically see it on top of things like vegetable salad, satay and fried catfish. When I lived in the "far east" of the archipelago, it was seemingly ubiquitous, as was the seafood it almost invariably went with. It's a thick and chunky - and uncompromisingly sweet - sauce. It often comes with sweet soya sauce and chilli sauce as well.
