A pint's a pound the world around.

I'd sure miss a lot of good eating if my recipes for foreign food were
restricted to having had to have been written in my country's
"English-language" origin.

Would the recipe have to be in an Australian bookbook if I were Australian;
an England cookbook if I were from UK, a Canadian cookbook if I were from
Canada, an American cookbook if I were American to be understandable -- not
for me -- English is English and measurements are measurements the world
around.


Phew!
