New 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.

New 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.
