a measure in the kitchen - TABLESPOONS?

A normal measurement in recipes in the UK at least, along with the teaspoon. Not undifferent to using "cups" to measure flour, as the Merkins do, be we don't.

I have never seen a British Cookbook use Cups as a measure. International ones, yes, but alongside other measures (Tablespoon or grams or ounces etc).

All the British ones I've seen use Pounds & Ounces (& normally give metric equivalents, depending on their age). Not that there anything wrong with cups, does away with the need for scales. [Edit] Example from Auntie's site: fluffy American pancake[^]

The Frogs had the right idea. A couple of episodes ago in David Dimbleby's excellent documentary about his journey around the coastal waters of the UK, he showed a chamberpot at a museum. Inside it was a small bust of Napoleon's head inviting you to choose whether you pee over it or dump on it. Priceless. :laugh:
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I remember trying to do with out scales and using the Jamie Oliver 'Hand full, bosh!' method, didn't work! scales are your friends, use them! :) [edit] mind you, man points if you don't![/edit]

Hmmm, the Metric System was to standardise quantity of stuff for the French army... :omg:

It was more a case of using a cup to measure, rather than clarting on with scales. Can eyeball some things, but cakes go badly if you try. That said the MIL can eyeball cake mix, so I guess experience plays a hand....

That seems rather pointless. I doubt it was used very much. :laugh: Seriously, I recommend Ken Allder's book The Measure Of All Things which describes the two expeditions in revolutionary France to triangulate the measurement of the meter.

I know, I have read it (actually my first post here was about it way back...) Also I lend it to someone and haven't seen it since!
