  1. On 12/29/2004 1:01 PM Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these
    great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

    Quoted message said:

    One of my cook books, translated from English to Danish, is using the
    unit "cups", which isn't a unit normally used in Denmark, and when it is
    - it can apperantly mean different things from 1,5 to 2,5 dl. If all of
    the measurements was in the unit, it wouldn't be a problem, as I could
    just stick to the same unit all of the time, but it doesn't.

    Quite frankly, I haven't got a cluse, as to how to find out what is meant
    by "cup" here. I don't expect anyone in here to have "A vegetarian cook
    book in six acts", so I can find out what the English version says, as I
    know how much one of those cups are, but if I post one of the recipes
    here, do you then think that maybe someone in here will have an idea as
    to how much it might be? I know - it's a shot in the dark, but it's the
    only idea I can come up with. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Nikitta

    A cup is USUALLY 8 oz. liquid capacity.

    Hope this is what you are looking for.
