What I still wanna know is: Whatâs the difference between a sauce and a gravy?
On the original Chicken Gordon Bleu grinder there was blue cheese dressing. This was entirely thick dairy based. It was expensive. A chain named Blimpy reinvented the dressing as ranch dressing to cut costs. Then Subway made the dressings much cheaper by thinning the dressings and calling them sauces.
Gravy comes thick and thin. Thick is with flour and butter. Thin is au ju. Just the juice. Juice being the cheapest just add water.

I donât think I will be following any AI recipes for a salad dressing. The idea of a turkey dressing is revolting.

sugo di carne
English gravy translate to that according to Google. Translated back to English as Meat Sauce.
Blame it on Mussolini. His guys made national standards for pasta in Italy. Cooking a roast chicken with gravy took a backseat.
I never heard spaghetti sauce called gravy until âThe Sopranos.â
con succo
In English means with the juice.
Ha, I know, we did at my house too but everybody else, even the label on the jars at the store call it sauce. Not that we ever ate that stuff. An odd linguistic transfer because in Italian itâs âsalsa.â
Found this. Not to drift off topic: The Real Reason Some People Call Pasta Sauce 'Gravy'
Further research indicates: Sauce=âbig wordâ ie anything ladled onto food. Gravy= âlittle wordâ ie specifically a spiced or seasoned sauce.

So all this time I have been stuffing dressing into the turkey I have been trying to resuscitate it? That makes me feel a lot better. Listen, all you vegans, you canât say I didnât try!!

Now Iâm totally confused. Mom called turkey stuffing âstuffingâ but I have heard some people call it âdressing.â While âdressingâ was an emulsion that was poured over salads.
I canât imagine either being used to protect and heal wounds. Wound dressings are fabric (or sometimes porous plastic membrane in the modern world), which wouldnât exactly be appetizing stuffed into a turkeyâŚand more than salad dressing (or turkey dressing for Southerners) would be effective for wound healing.
I assume that the paragraph you shared came from AI and not a recipe book.

âDressingâ is covering. When I get up in the morning, I engage in âdressingâ: putting clothes on. When I go to Wendyâs for a salad, I cover the salad with âdressingâ from a packet. When I gash myself, I put a bandaid âdressingâ over the gash.
SteveâŚbut âupâ is not a verb, no matter how many times the news actors say âConglomicorp upped estimatesâ

Of course, a la Wendy, âturkey dressingâ doesnât cover anything (unless youâre a sloppy plater). Stuffing is a much better description if you actually stuff the turkey with it. If you bake it separately, it is more of a casserole than anything else.

For the next excursion in to AI cuisine, will someone look into frosting and icing?

Dressing is a semi-solid food thatâs used to protect and heal wounds?
That makes zero sense. Wounds now eat? Or do they use a straw? A spork? Or⌠Why do you need a semi-solid food? Or are they now documenting their awareness of the severity of the Baxter shutdown?
