French Recipe Units - Help
We bought a book on foods native to Nice on our recent trip, in French of
course. While I can read the recipes (with the occaisional help from a dictionary) I'm not sure of some of the units of measure. what is a 'mustard glass' (verre de moutarde) in milliliters? I'm assuming a cuillere de café is the same as our teaspoon (5ml) and a cuillere de table is 15ml. We're trying to get socca to come out something like what we had! |

It wasn't metric conversions I needed, but units 'peculiar' to France.
There are quite a few good unit conversion programs around. I've had figures of 150, 200 and 250ml for the mustard glass so far...does it depend on whether its a cheap bistro glass in Nice, Paris or Dijon? "Jumbo" wrote in message . ..

Hello, These are a few that come to my mind; but I do not know whether that's what you are looking for! Cuillere a cafe (tea spoon) Cuillere a soupe (table spoon) Pincee (the amount of powder, eg salt, that you can take in between you thumb and third finger) Soupçon (a very tiny amount of, eg the amount of powder, spice, etc. that holds on the tip of a sharp knife) Bouquet (commonly use for parsley, a few stems of parsley, generally 5 to 10) Verre a moutarde (mustard pot, about 150 ml) Un de a coudre (that is the protection people use to put at the end of their fingers when sawing, comonly in metal, about 2/3 ml) Une livre (a pound, ca. 500 g) Deux livres (two pounds,1 kg) Une demi livre (half a pound, ca. 250 g) Un bol ( a cup, about 300/400 ml) Cheers, Yves |
