Mine does not say "Cup" on it. It does, however, have pints.

Okay. Problem solved. A cup is half a pint.

Now go spead the word.

edit: though I have a sneaking suspicion that "pints" of things in Ireland are actually half liters. Much like "fifths" are 750ml.

No, it's different. Like I've explained. Try asking anyone from the UK what a cup is. They won't say it's a measurement, that's for sure.

Try asking anyone in the US how many stone they weigh.

Point is to use some common sense. If I saw a recipe/formula/instructions call out a unit of measure I didn't recognize, I'd either look it up or if they were all the same unit of measure (in this instance, all ingredients are measured in cups) I'd realize I could make it based on keeping a proper ratio of ingredients and that the tool of measure is immaterial.

Why not just say... 1/2 pint instead of 1cup.
Why have two measurement units for the same thing?

It's like calling 1/2 a metre.. a quizpom or something.
 
How the hell do you kids survive not knowing how to cook for yourselves? Eat out all the time? Some sort of school meal plan?

I could have done that, but I'd rather make a thread on the topic. There's lots of recipies, I wanted to find out some others (Like that Chikken posted) as well as find out the stuff I needed to know.

My questions were also answered on the first page, incase you didn't realise.

In future, I will make sure I don't make any threads unless it's about a meet :rolleyes:

In Texas a quizpom is the rubber strip on a windshield wiper.

A pint is 678ml, if my mind serves me well.

Because in recipes, cups are usually subdivided.
