snousleDear European chefs,
Converting a recipe to American measures involves more than multiplying by the appropriate conversion factors. It also requires scaling the whole recipe to match typical American package sizes.
We can tell when you are being lazy. Half a cup of cream, plus one tablespoon? Three and a quarter cups of flour? Seventeen ounces of chocolate? And the worst - the absolute giveaway - is your repeated insistence on seven tablespoons of butter.
Please stop.
Thanks,
- The American Cook

The temperature scale, according to Wikipedia, seems to be originally defined so that 0°F is the temperature of brine, and 96°F is the temperature of Fahrenheits wife !!!!
ROTFLMAO
