Yes, and in other parts of the country, gravy is called something else. I am a product of my environment, but thank you for the helpful hint so that I might fit in and not be noticed. (Attention has never been a good thing in my family.)
What’s counterintuitive is that people refer to the liquid you sprinkle over salad greens as salad dressing. Few people put stuffing in a turkey any more because of safety considerations, so you can’t really call it stuffing, but you don’t pour it all over anything, either, so why call it dressing? You ladle gravy and sauces over things, so the gravy and/or sauce should be called dressing. And forget about calling salad dressing “stuffing”; that’s just wrong. There is such inconsistency and lack of congruence in life. What’s it all about? *sigh*
People of the South find it very amusing when I mention poke weed salad. They drag me around from one neighbor to another saying, “G’head, say it again.”
