OP ... and thus I find myself every year bringing my baffled students a cup measure, to convince them that a "cup" is not just any ole cup they might have lying around their houses...
I have a reprint of an old Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook which uses some interesting measurements, including "teacup." In addition, it will call for a quantity of butter "the size of an egg" and for the occasional "whiskey bottle full" of some liquid.
Others?
