I don't get spoons or cups - how big are the spoons or cups?

@Fasgadh@mastodon.scot @kibcol1049@mstdn.social Our tablespoons and teaspoons in the UK used to be a standard size so those were used in measuring for baking. They stopped being a standard some years ago as companies saved money by shrinking them. So now you have to pay for measuring spoons. Most cups used for baking/cooking were also a similar size. So a recipe might want 2 cups of flour or 2 tablespoons of spice. Most USA baking recipes are still using cups and spoon measures instead of weight, but the smaller sizes not UK/imperial.
