To people who are familiar with both UK and US tinned food...
...is a 14oz can of tomatoes the same size as a 400g can of tomatoes? In general, when US recipes give a measurement in oz for tinned food, is it fluid ounces or the dry sort?
I keep finding US recipes I want to try. I've discovered that one of my cup measures is unexpectedly a US cup rather than a UK cup, and I'm pretty sure I now understand the various ways of measuring butter (in sticks, for instance), but I'm still having a little transatlantic recipe trouble. Whose idea was it to have different sized pints?
