What was that point?

Well, I think a lot of people use a word with a lot of meanings generically when they are used to only one thing. Like a family that mostly drinks apple juice will call apple juice just "juice" and the rest of the kinds of juice they will call "grape juice," or "orange juice" so that if someone in that family asks for "juice" everyone knows they mean apple juice. I once knew a child (in England) who insisted that "cereal" was corn flakes and only corn flakes, since that is the only kind his family ever bought. Cheerios or Frosted Flakes were *not* cereal, they were cheerios and frosted flakes. He'd confused the generic with the specific.
At first, frog claimed that to Italians "sauce" meant red sauce, with or without meat, so you putting bechamel sauce in your lasagna seemed to be some kind of travesty; but now there appear to be other kinds of sauces, but Sunday Sauce is always red by her. It is all very confusing.
What is that experience based on?

Yeah I got that. Your grandma represents every Italian & they all have never used a cookbook. And they all are offended by anyone who would use them, give them one, whatever.
So it doesn't matter if you are also talking about a handful of other Italian women who are also offended by any poor person who might offer a cookbook in their presence. You are under the impression that all are the same.
Snort--pretty funny stuff!
