.....were commonly understood?
The other day while looking at recipes for Victoria sponge cake, I found a recipe that called for beaten eggs in the list of ingredients and then in the directions you are instructed to put 6 tablespoons of water for the 4 eggs.
Then sometimes in a Chinese recipe you will find that the writer has instructed you to blanch the broccoli first ..... and nobody else has remembered to tell you .... because you are expected to know that ?
And, other times you are told to put salt on your eggplant or zucchini .... when in fact, maybe that is not what you want. Maybe your eggplant is not bitter.....
Do you have any stories to share like these .... I think they are fun ... especially when someone has a clue that holds a key to
a whole concept - like blanching the basil for pesto or for herb butters --
Cheers!

or ...soda water is not anything you mix with a drink, it is simply soda bicarb mixed with water in preparation to adding to a batter but diluted so it mixes in easily ...
