… 113 grams of butter instead of a “stick”. What, in Saint Arnoldus’ name, is a stick??
And why 113 grams? “No sir, not 112, not 114, 113. It is what we do! The Elders have taught us!”
Why 8 tablespoons of butter of course.
That’s 113.44 grams. Is your lodo spreadsheet as “accurate”?
4 ounces is a stick
Having only bought butter in the US I can only say when a recipe calls for a stick of butter it always means exactly eight tablespoons because sticks are cut precisely to that measurement. You don’t need to know how much is in one stick of butter because it’s always the same amount.
Then my recommendation to the proud people of America is: redefine a stick to be 100 grams. Adjust the definition of the ounce accordingly. Throw away those tablespoons, and make new ones, smaller or bigger. I’ll leave the details to you guys. I’m really fed up with always having to look up stuff whenever I want to use an American recipe.
I mean it.
Maybe you backwards euro savages need to bend the knee ([emoji38])
EDIT: add emoji to make sure everyone knows I’m joking.
While I still use English units for my typical civil engineering work, I do pull out the SI units when things get hairy with slugs and other arcane units. Please forgive the unit war.
I just had to convert a cocktail recipe from a bottle of nonino from centiliters to ounces so it goes both ways.
Arguing about using 113 instead of one of a single unit is akin to arguing the use of 3.14 instead of π in a calculation. (IOW, There’s a time and a place for both… :P)
Yeah. 
Is a “stick” an official unit of measure or just a de facto standard caused by the preferences of the brownie and cookie recipe cartels.
It’s not “both ways” . It’s a right way and a wrong way.
And is a tablespoon a heaped spoon or what
Exactly right. Metric is infinitely more sensible and infinitely more wrong.
No it’s a tablespoon. Is a centiliter a heaped milliliter?
A US tablespoon is 0.5 US fluid ounces which is 14.8 ml.
You can round up to 15 ml if that makes life easier for you.
But, that would make a stick of butter is 120ml which you know is not true.
Tau is much better than pi.
What shape does your butter come in? Small molds of the Mannequin Pis?
