How to measure things like a Canadian? - Lemmy.zip

Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12) [https://yewtu.be/watch?v=V52LbPoMnDE]. How true is this? It sounds wild.

“Cups and spoons”!?
Yep
“Cups” Plural. There are several cup sizes?
The Canadian cup is 227mL, while the US cup is 236mL, and the metric cup is 250mL. So good fucking luck figuring out which one your recipe uses. Luckily, for most cooking it doesn’t really matter to be off by 9-23mL.
