      ...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:

      78.07 ml basil leaves
      2.46 ml soya sauce
      14.79 ml fish sauce
      ...

      I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:

      Looks like you are making something asian. Asians usually are smaller and obviously eat smaller portions. :-)

          Indeed - Herself did sous vide steak last night, and we couldn't finish them, so I'm looking at a Thai Beef salad style thing to use up the meat.

            Of course I am! I sit here on my big, fat chunk, doing as little physical work as possible. Isn't that why we become developers? :laugh:

                            You're measuring basil by volume! :confused: Also it needs to be clear as to whether that's fresh or dried. Looks like a double conversion via fl oz as I would expect those measures to have been in tsp (5ml) and tblsp (20ml) but why convert from a measuring unit everyone has available measures for? Oh and its going to cost to find finding a pipette to handle 10s of microlitres - good luck.

                                  We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time ;) (Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

                                    It really isn't possible to cook in metric.

                                      Do you want to be the one to tell the French that? :laugh:

                                        I'd be happy to tell them. I don't think they're good cooks. I think they're good at marketing, hype, and over-charging for snails - is what I think they're good at.

                                          ...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:

                                          78.07 ml basil leaves
                                          2.46 ml soya sauce
                                          14.79 ml fish sauce
                                          ...

                                          I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:

                                          OK, half a teaspoon of soya sauce, and half an ounce of fish sauce, but's the US measurement for basil leaves?

                                          Truth, James
