And I don't claim anything for the term "enchilada gravy" except that
it's the term I learned from the cookbook that finally told me how to
make that stuff that went over enchiladas (I couldn't figure it out on
my own), and that the google evidence at least shows it's not a term
unique to me.

Now, there are times when I like flat bread-food. For example, shrimp
is not a pizza ingredient, but a piece of bread dough with tomato sauce,
shrimp, well-chosen veggies, and cheese on it can be quite good.
