OP here. I forgot to mention the fact that I am a homosexual, in case that makes a difference.

>>12996411
Because we don't need to be spoonfed a baby measurement system like pussy ass brainlet trash. Step up.

>>12996411
Eurofag here. While I agree that the metric system is superior in every conceivable way, it literally takes 30 seconds to have Google translate that shit into metric. You're retarded.

>For most of history, most cookbooks did not specify quantities precisely, instead talking of "a nice leg of spring lamb", a "cupful" of lentils, a piece of butter "the size of a walnut", and "sufficient" salt.[1] Informal measurements such as a "pinch", a "drop", or a "hint" (soupçon) continue to be used from time to time. In the US, Fannie Farmer introduced the more exact specification of quantities by volume in her 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book.

>>12996411
Because we won the Second World War.

>Self-admitted faggot
>Not American
Not that Never going to make it.

>americans are so stupid!!!!
>what, the recipe has multiple different units and none of them are in base 10? how am i supposed to follow that???

Are your parents ashamed of you, OP?

Why do American recipes always say garlic powder and onion powder? Does no one buy onions and garlic?

Fucking Americans

>>12997105
You're not wrong you're just retarded. Russia "won" the war in the sense that they expended the most blood and treasure of any nation in order to achieve victory. However America clearly "won" the war in the sense that they came out of the conflict in the most advantageous position of any nation on the world stage. In conclusion, you're a pedant and/or a vatnik and your opinion can be safely disregarded.

>>12996417
>I'm gay btw
That was assumed since you're a yuronigger based on your obsession with AMERICANS.

>>12997105
Then why does most of Europe speak/teach english?

>>12997277
You can get pre-powdered onions and garlic?

>>12997328
>Treasure

>>12997105
True. We were fighting on 2 fronts and couldn't have beaten the nazi fascists alone.

>>12997082
Did we really, though?

>>12996417
>OP is gay
>Also not American
Checks out

>>12997277
lots of carbfat dough americans don't like fresh onions or garlic and substitute powdered. personally i put fresh and dried in most of my recipes. garlic + onion powder is great for seasoning meat

>>12997359
Yes, treasure, as in money and valuable materials.

>>13000033
Based retard

Are Americans even human?

>>12997051
1 cup can mean different things though. Officially it's exactly 236,588 milliliters. But some idiots converte 1 cup to 250ml and it fucks up the recipe.

>>12999981
Sweden didn't lose anything, but they didn't gain much either.
Every major country from before WWII (Russia, Germany, England, France) was demolished during the fighting, leaving the US as the sole untouched superpower. The US may have lost a few troops and some boats, but it gained decades of global dominance.

>>12997082
No, friend. (((they))) won, we all lost.

>>12996411
>Why is this even legal?

Why would you want laws to be passed and enforced governing how an individual person writes food recipes? Let the bureaucracy take away what last little tiny freedoms you enjoyed, because you don't fucking deserve them.

I hate how some measurements are in weight and others in volume.
Just give me a weight based measurement for everything.

>eurofaggot to stupid to understand two measurement systems
Shocking

>>12997101
>Cooming and cooking
Based

>>13000694
It's the same measuring system.
American units are all legally defined by metric values.

>>12996411

is that fluid ounces?

if american units are so superior why does NASA use the metric system?

>>13000675
This
