I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

    There are more peppers like that, too:
    poblano - ancho
    chilaca - pasilla
    anaheim - colorado
    mirasol - guahillo
    serrano - chile seco
    bola - cascabel

    Also related: green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers are all the same pepper, just various stages of ripeness. Guess I had my own dumb moment in this thread. Not sure where I read my take, but the reply to mine is correct.

      Bell pepper thing is false. Green ones are usually underripe red bells but the other colors are all equally ripe. This is easy to fact check: look for less ripe peppers at the store, they will be red with green splotches rather than yellow or orange. Or you can shop for bell pepper seeds online.

        Yeah, seems you’re correct. Not sure where I got my take from, probably something I read a while ago. Thanks for correcting me.

          Damn i had the same assumption as you, had i been asked about bell peppers five minutes ago i would been like 99% certain they were all the same but at different ripenesses.
