Cooking And Converting

Metric or Imperial?

When I was younger I had no idea that different countries used different measurement systems, or what they meant as I grew up in the United States which uses the Imperial system of measurement. I did wonder why Europe and the rest of the world were different, not see us as being the different ones. I watched the movie Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino starring Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta and in one scene they were talking about visiting Europe and how Travolta went to McDonald's and ordered a ‘Royale with Cheese’ because the Europeans had no idea what a Quarter Pounder With Cheese was, since they used metric, and pounds is an Imperial measurement.
