Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.

Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren't they?

Cooking has largely moved to metric (with the exception of spices/seasonings, weighing spices is tedious compared to spoons IMO)

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I have never seen a US cookbook or Internet recipe site that defaults to metric.

I clicked the King Arthur link and the recipes default to English with metric in parenthesis.

That depends more on the setting, IDK about professional kitchens but most home cooking I've seen measures in imperial.

[-] Zorsith 3 points 3 months ago

A decent chunk of recipes I use are for baking (where weighing is important and grams are standard) so YMMV, though I don't generally eat a lot of "american" food so my perspective is a bit skewed toward metric.

Tbf a decent amount of "american food" is prepared by intuition rather than by formula

If you're checking measurements for a burger, it's for the individual stacked items you're putting together on the burger and not usually for how much ground meat you need to get off a chuck steak for the burger you want.

I only write down measurements in my own recipes because I'm chronically paranoid I'll fuck everything up since so much of my stuff is already mishmash of previous recipes (just finished putting together a non dairy Knaffeh recipe so my SO can have it in spite of their allergies, had to figure out how to mimic Arrakawi cheese using fake mozz lol XD)

I've seen them chiefly in US Customary.
