Is it "gravy" or "sauce"? Lorraine Ranalli, Philadelphia Broadcast vet and writer, settles the age-old argument while humorously describing the culinary competitiveness that runs deep in the heart of South Philadelphia Italians. You'll laugh out loud as you read the truth about Italian traditions and superstitions. And you'll discover a slew of scrumptious original recipes that'll help you win your own kitchen competitions.

Chapter III: Breeding


Insight into the self-image and traditions of Italian immigrants who settled in Philadelphia in the early part of the twentieth century is revealed through the introduction of Lorraine's fraternal grandparents, their struggles, and their legacy. From language barriers and economic difficulties to a sense of family and community, most Americans will identify with this nostalgic account. Eight impressive meals that can be prepared without much effort are included at the end of this chapter. They're referred to as Old Standbys.
