Gravy Wars | South Philly Foods, Feuds & Attytudes, a humorous narrative about the flavor of Italian culture in South Philadelphia, describes a way of life that is unique to the region where gravy, a.k.a. tomato sauce, is a distinct hallmark. Italian immigrants in other parts of the United States scoff at its usage. Rather than acquiesce to the common term for sauce, however, our sector of Americana takes pride in the moniker and readily defends it.
Most Italian-Americans are competitive when it comes to culinary skills, especially when it comes to preparing gravy. In a comically deprecating style, Gravy Wars exposes this and many other idiosyncrasies characteristic of South Philadelphians. In addition to a heap of nostalgia, the book includes 72 Ranalli family recipes split among eleven chapters in categories that relate to each chapter's topic.
