Look RS you seem like a nice guy and I really don't want to get into a pi$$ing match about GRAVY or meatballs with you. Your grandmothers food may indeed be the best you've had, but I would have put up my moms or grandmas up against anyone's. My grandmother immigrated from Ireland and wound up in Bay Ridge(Fort Hamilton district). She was friends with some very Italian Italian women(if you catch my drift). So was my mother. They ate many Sunday dinners at their friends houses, and learned how to cook Italian from their hosts. I'm not suggesting that their cooking was the best of the best, but they were taught real authentic Italian cooking. I grew up on that as well as Irish and Norwegian dishes. You can watch You-tube all you want, but when you learn from folks that actually came to America from Italy. I guess I know who I would trust.gmc2003 - look up Lidia Bastianich / Lidia's Kitchen - and find the word gravy.
