Reblogging because charts like these are always useful, especially when trying to convert between US Cups (volume measure) and oz / gr (weight measure). Not having grown up with them, cups have always seemed an inaccurate way to measure anything coarse: liquids, flour, sugar, no probs, but surely 1 cup of (say) whole almonds is going to be a smaller amount than 1 cup of ground almonds, because of the air spaces. And then there’s the “pint’s a pound the world around” business… Imperial pints are bigger, 20 fl.oz rather than 16. @dduane has a set of US Cups, and just for fun we also got a set of these amusing spoons. What I really want are measures for Some, A Bit and most important, Far Too Much. Um, cilantro and coriander are the same thing? Why do they have two different rows for the same thing in the spice/herb table? When it’s “cilantro” they’re usually talking about the leafy part of the plant, and when it’s “coriander” they mean the seeds. British English and some (many?) European languages call the plant coriander, not cilantro We say coriander for the leaves and coriander seed for the seeds, having a different name for the leaves when it’s the same plant is one of those weird American things -- source link
