Reading these digest, I know I am getting confused. I know there are differences in ingredients, names, measures etc. I am an American, currently working in UK, I have worked in Australia, Japan, Netherlands and Italy, I was in Australia when they changed to metric
the other teachers told me I would have no problems since I was an American and used to the metric system :-)
I learned to use gills (5 fl oz in Australia half a cup in UK) the Australian cup was 8 fl oz like the US,
I have the German/English cookbook the flour is different...
Anyway, the point is that although I can straighten things out if I know where they are coming from, I have been confused by come comments trying to figure out where they are located.
Antonio commented bout corn flour vs the corn starch I mentioned in an earlier post, OK I understood from that he was in Australia, but are all the others there also?
(and I think I am going to put something in my sig to let people know where I am)
and also SIGH please trim! sometimes (most times?) I get confused because there are 4 or more other messages embedded in the reply so I lose who is talking...
