minus-squareKazumara@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoInteresting, thanks. It’s not familiar to me in my South-Western corner of central Europe. I’ll have to ask my Czech friend if it’s familiar to him.
minus-squareℍ𝕂-𝟞𝟝@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 day agoAm from Hungary, can confirm, all recipes say decagram here. It also makes sense in a way, you usually don’t eat either kilograms or grams of anything really. Like you go to the butcher and you won’t ask for 213 grams of meat, or 5 kilos, you ask for 15 decagrams.
minus-squareKazumara@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoThank you for the datapoint! Exactly like my Czech friend said as well. It makes a lot of sense to me, that you would put a floor on the precision like that. We often have the question at the counter, like “It’s a few grams over, is that still okay, or should I take some off?”.
