American recipes also do it. My favourite one is "one stick of butter". Oh yes? I can't buy butter in sticks; only in grams.

Not exclusively a British problem.

not difficult.
Just ask Google.
how much does a typical stick of butter weigh?http://www.onlinecon...um_1026097353.htm |

Misses my point. :-)
Although two or three years ago when I actually needed to know, even Google couldn't help.

4 sticks to a pound 8 tblespoons to the stick
and if you had bought american butter it would have been right there on the wrapper of the stick :-)

Actually, the US has two size sticks.
Eastern and Western with the divide at the Mississippi - but on both sides a stick is a quarter pound - just the dimensions are different.
Butter dishes are usually sized for Eastern sticks and too long for Western sticks. But wait a minute - 3 (count them, 3) years ago google couldn't answer? I'm having a hard time accepting that. |

When to DrewK put out his first recipes book?
A relative tried to do one of the recipes and foundered on "one stick of butter". Maybe I never struck the right phrase to Google, but I never found an answer.
