Very interesting! It could definitely use some links for definitions of various ingredients (and maybe terms). Local names for different things vary wildly, and especially without pictures on most things, there's no way to know which variant they mean.
For example: "1 1/2 cup Regular Rice" - American cups, British cups or Australian cups? What variety of rice is "regular" for this recipe/author? One half cup or one plus a half cups? Sometimes you can figure this stuff out from the bloat in the recipe links, but because this is so concise, I have no way to figure it out.
Open Food Facts might be of help here.
Fuck cups. Just use grams. Cups of rice? Sticks of butter? Wtf do they weigh?
I only ever measure rice by volume
