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

    Chipotles are jalapeños. They are just roasted.

      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.
