This isn't a recipe? Recipes have 40 paragraph long stories about how your grandmother fell in love in Rome .
and inconsistently labeled units
Or giving units by weight.
I understand it's more convenient if you have a kitchen scale because you can put everything in the same container, but not all of us has a kitchen scale and converting multiple ingredients from weight to volume is damn near impossible.
Why cups, tbsp, and tsp though. Use ml and mg
That makes sense if you like numbers that are easy to multiply and divide, but it depends on region. Some people aren't familiar with metric, and the recipes they write probably don't use it. In all likelihood, recipes you find in imperial units were likely written by an american.
The volume vs. weight thing though, that transcends region or systems of measurement. It assumes everyone has a kitchen scale, when most non-professionals have volumetric measuring supplies which are typically way cheaper
Or everything is in cups.
It's either that or I have to make little piles of dry ingredients on my table and it makes a huge mess.
And if I’m using my phone every other line has 50 ads

Every time my wife or I look up a recipe we start singing "when I was a young warthog..."
Ok I don’t know where this is from but I want to start singing it out of context just to keep the mystery going.
It's the circle of memes...
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned,
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind!
I came here to ask, "where is the 20 page long family history that makes you get a RSI from scrolling down to see the ingredients" but this will do too
