Ah, yes. I experienced a similar scenario with a bag of gummi worms, which I quickly found out were discreetly labelled as for diabetics. A tip: diabetic candy will give you Not So Much A Time if eaten in large quantities.

Also I am ever-so-slightly exaggerating because there are other people eating it but they are having a couple PB&Js-worth while I am eating 3/4 of a pound at a time. E: Wait, am I misunderstanding the terminology or are you saying 840,000 calories / day?

TotalLossBrain posted:kcal is the complete unit, but it's shortened to the (incorrect) cal in common use. In American units, the upper-case 'Calories', are equivalent to the kilocalories used in more logical parts of the world. A lower-case calorie is the same everywhere, and is the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

I live in Europe and I had to buy a set of 'measuring cups' and 'tablespoons' from America to properly cook some American recipes, and also a magnetic conversion chart that tells me how many ounces equals 3/8ths of a hogshead or whatever. It's like doing alchemy in the 7th century, why why why Or you can just weigh poo poo in grams on a digital scale as if you live in the 21st century

Don't be silly, nothing wrong with using a cup as a measure. Just get an American measuring cup! Then make sure to know if it's a heaping cup, a level cup, a packed cup, a loose cup, a sifted cup,

There is a new kebab place near where I live and even though in their flyer they say that they are a true Turkish restaurant, they have this thing called 'Durum Hawaii'. Yes, it is kebab with pineapple. I have yet to gather my courage and try it.

Yeah, and absolutely none of that matters as long as you are keeping the proportions of ingredients the same as the recipe. A cake made with Canadian cups will be the same as a cake made with US cups even if its a little bigger or smaller or whatever. Taking out electric scales and beakers and graduated cylinders and poo poo just to make banana bread is the craziest poo poo.

MasterFugu posted:that may work for stuff like banana bread(it's practically cake), not so much for things more involved. What? Like macaroons, eclairs, napoleans, or croquembouche? Really it's just two different measuring systems and I just think using exact weights is more complicated than using proportions and way easier to gently caress up.

Taking out electric scales and beakers and graduated cylinders and poo poo just to make banana bread is the craziest poo poo. If you use a the wrong kind of cup but the right kind of tablespoon or whatever, then the proportions will get off. Yeah, it probably won't matter, but by that logic you should just eyeball it. Also, I too think an electric scale is a crazy complicated device to operate.
