Food & Drink - 27 November 2007

As a scientist, I understand and enjoy Metric measurements. We were given an Australian recipe and a table with columns for US, Canadian and Australian for the purpose of conversion. Why on God's green earth is there a DIFFERENT conversion factor for Australian Metric?

Isn't Metric, by definition, consistent? I am so confused. And based on the table, it is non-linear, which makes no sense in the world. Please help explain!

I want to know WHY, don't just tell me it is, or question the authority of the cookbook please. Here is a web site, there are numerous other if you Google search. http://www.kitchenproject.com/equivalencies/metric.htm - this table is similar to the one in the cookbook. Note that it *seems* 1 aus-Kilo = 2 US/Uk/Imperial pounds, with major weirdness in rounding for fractions thereof. And why or how did this happen?

Why was my post deleted, & Who complained?

I wrote a note the other day extolling the virtues of Maria's Home Made Country Fare, in Greenbrier, Arkansas. I did not advertize this store... I merely said that the food was wonderful.
Someone took exception to my post and yahoo deleted the post. I took a look at the guidlines and found none of the rules had been violated. I guess the coward that complained is too cowardly to come forward to admit that they were the one responsible. Some hours later, I took a look at the the replies, and would you believe...there were a few responses from folk who were as surprised as I was about Maria's cooking. nuff said..

Are there vegan forms of lactose?

I dont think there is but I want to make sure I have been given some pills by my Doctor and I dont *need* to take them they say they contain lactose and I dont want to have them if they dont go with my values of veganism. Could it be some synthetic type? What should I do. I will be fine if I dont take them, but I want to nkow if I can.

What is an easy recipe or food item I can prepare from the Middle Ages that comes from France?

I am doing a project about French cuisine during the Middle Ages, specifically 14th-16th centuries. I need an easy recipe or even better, something I can go and buy that would be appropriate for this time period. I'm not really able to cook anything so I more need an idea of what I could purchase!
