This is going to sound like the stupidest question ever, but...

How much, exactly, is a 'cup' of something? Does it depend on what it's a cup of? I've never been able to find measuring cups, so is this just an American measurement?



(I warned you it was a stupid question!)

American recipes measure the craziest stuff by volume. Like flour.
