I always wonder how much is one serving? 1 ounce? Why can't they just say 1 ounce or xx grams? Same goes to "cup", guess it's an American thing.

- scrozier 2y agoYou're right about the "serving" thing. But in the US, at least, a cup in a culinary context means precisely eight ounces.
- devonbleak 2y agoEight ounces by weight or by volume? /s
- scrozier 2y agoVolume…sorry, should have made that distinction.
- daemonologist 2y agoNow we're tempted to go down the ounce rabbit hole (the US fluid ounce is based on the medieval British system, which is based on the density of wine, probably). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce
