A couple of weeks ago some posters made a big issue of the difference between a 236 mL and a 250 mL cup. The fact that the UK has a cup equal to almost 300 mL proves that the difference in the cups is moot. If a UK citizen used a US recipe, they would interpret the cup to the UK version and use the cup that is in their kitchen. Nowhere in recipes does it qualify the cup as either UK or US. The same is true in reverse.
If it really made a difference there would be a lot of bad tasting food produced. Euric ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
