My Mom's people are from Abruzzi.. They drop the "A" at the end of Ricotta , supressatta,and "bracciola", the "i" at the end of "manicotti"; and tend to replace the "Cs" with "Gs". And it's "GRAVY", not "SAUCE"

My father's parents are from Abruzzi - they do the same thing!
My mother's parents are from Lyons. I don't care what they do. ;) (j/k)

Gravy is something you put on roast beef.

Sauce is what goes on macaroni! :)
