No Pandora, ragu is sauce with meat in it (at least that's what my mother
says)...gravy is often made using the juices left in the bottom of the
roasting pan when you have cooked a roast meat, you drain off some of the
fat, add flour to make a roux and scrape up all the yummy bits in the pan,
then add liquid (water, stock, whatever) to make the gravy
