My Moroccan SILs still use "glass" as a measurement which usually means
a tea glass which is maybe 5 ounces or so give or take. The glasses are
all different. All their sweets/dessert recipes are in measurements like
this so it makes it nearly impossible to figure out. THEY know how to
make the stuff so I guess that is all that matters. Savory dishes have
been much easier to figure out.
