In 250g packets. Yes, some have the 50g marks. But I find that those are not always accurate. And to be honest, I put my butter in in smaller slices, because one big chunk is just not very practical.
Also, I am not good enough to eyeball the 227g needed for one cup from the 50g marks...

I live in Europe. My butter does not come in sticks or cups. I do have a cup measure to use for US recipts. But often I find myself converting and calculating rather then using it...

My problem with the cups is just - if you have it full with, let's say flour, and you shake it a bit - you will be able to fit in more. Is the correct amount the lightly packed or the tightly packed version?
Also, how do you exactly measure a cup of cold butter? Melt it, pour it in and wait for it to cool down and get solid again? If I am trying to press cold butter into a cup measure, there is always air bubbles.

And it doesn' matter how tightly you pack the measuring cup - 100g are 100g.

You put a bowl on a scale and add e.g. 150g of sugar. You reset the scale and pour in 300g of flour. You reset the scale and pour in 200g of milk... no matter which bowl you use, no additional tool needed.

Shhh, it's a miracle!

Not that much, I think - you are right!

Really pretty - and no clue, sorry.
But to me it looks like northern Germany, maybe?

I am usually on 5 during the week. 4 is pushing it, 6 is ok... and 5 is doable. But not really fun.

Or generally any place that gets hot. Or cold.
I'm with hamburg on the insulation case.

Being the hero often is the worst job...

Es ist rechtens...

Just a quick update - so far the game seems to be quite nice. Hubby is not a fan of the saving system and the scripted events, but the gameplay itself is really nice. It's only his second evening playing though, work and kid got in the way...
