I read on the site I got this from that "Ragu" in Italian may mean some other kind of sauce and not the Brand name we get in English speaking parts of the world hence the lower case 'h'.

**Ophelia** · 06-05-2007, 02:36 PM

Fascinating look at different cultures. The richer you get, the more crap you get to eat, nice.

Maybe it was nothing to do with colour but the areas of the county they come from; health conscious California compared to other States?

**Plastic Flute** · 06-05-2007, 05:54 PM
