I'm glad the teaspoon business is cleared up, but what's with the idea of waiting 24 hrs. before grading a question??
Tony M Jun 27, 2006:
If you hadn't said anything, no-one need ever have known! ;-)

it's not café d'huile, it is 1 coffe/tea spoonful of oil, etc.

Note that the quantity referred to as 'c. à café' in French is usually taken as 5 ml, which is a teaspoon in EN; I would specifically AVOID using 'coffee-spoon', as an English coffee spoon would represent a smaller measure than a French one!
