[TIP] Confused by int'l measures and ingredients? Author - Old Git

British teaspoons and tablespoons are approximately one-third larger. That gill of milk? It's 5 fluid ozs. And if you've tried to make a recipe written in metric, you may have given up in disgust, especially if it called for "aubergine" or "swede." Here's a handy page with conversions for all those strange measures and translations for those weird vegetable names:

Thanks Old Git for the link..... I have a chart that doesn't cover all the things the link does and also have one french cook book I like to throw because of this. Maybe it may have a few less pages lost from the binding because of this link....
