Please add your "precise" measurements to this list - - - -

(I do have more - - - - )

These probably make as much sense as a lot of other things we do. Not many of us have the equipment to measure "exactly" - and "close enough" is what we have learned to live with.

Those engineering types that measure things in terms of "One inch plus or minus 1/1000 inch" taught me that "exact" is difficult to achieve.

They're all equal to a scosh, except for a generous, which is equal to a scosh more.

all are less than a stones throw away! which is more.

Nosh. Could be more than a scosh.

Six one way, hallf a dozen the other...

what about a smidge, is that more or less than a pinch.

I once got my son (in culinary school at that time) measuring spoons of a bit, smidge, tad ect. gave one to his chef too. I though they were cute.

Lets talk 'tanch'---not figured that one out yet --maybe a bit more than a pinch !

More than a "titch"

My contribution is smidgin.

A gob or a wee drop?
