Question about a Louisiana Myth

uh, what? I've never heard this, ever, and I'm almost mid-40's.

I was expecting a roogaroo story

There was a thread on this a couple months back

theyre referring to "placghetti" or spaghetti made with a womans placenta. Mexicans have a similar myth with placos

Have never heard that one.

And how do they k ow it wasn’t a man chef?

Another myth. Maybe mistranslation is a better word.

Ever been to Italy? On menus, it will be called salsa or sugo.

Both words translate as “sauce” but never as “gravy.”

I do not know why Italian grandmas claim it should be called gravy. But good luck finding an actual Italian who calls it that. So calling it gravy is probably a mistranslation by Italian immigrants to the U.S.

The lady cook may have put her menstrual blood in the sauce. When you eat it she will then have power over you. Most of the black baws I work with believe this.

Are these the same guys who think the gubbmint puts drugs in Church's chicken to control the black population?

Yes. But the post is about Louisiana. A red sauce is commonly referred to as red gravy, at least in south Louisiana.
