Re: OT - None Metric measurement question
drives me nuts that most food items are still in imperial... one of the Last hold overs i guess... I am lucky that i can kind of work with both of them...
ask any 12 year old about miles , pounds , cups and they will look at you with a blank look...
which is good in my books...

Silly Tesco. One liter of your head is many, many kilos, due to its high density.  |

Re: OT - None Metric measurement question
In cooking, when dealing with items like veggies, it's all about the volume and personal preference. So chop them up as you want them, until you fill a cup with them. Don't worry about weight. That's my understanding.

If he's grinding up the stuff for some sort of strange baked-vegetable-mush dish the amount could be improtant, as the mashed-up vegetable will be mixed with the other ingrediants. |
