milkeybar kid Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think as you get older you question yourself even more. !! Reading the medicine bottle it says the measure is 1 tablespoon in water.So a desert spoon is what you eat your puddy with, a tablespoon is the same as a serving spoon.Approx 2 desert spoons equals a tablespoon. Yes? confused.com as ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBC65 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just Googled for the ml equivalent and find that "1 Tbsp = 1/2 fl. oz. = 1.5 cl. = 15 ml" A teaspoon is usually 5ml - or maybe you have a kitchen measure to help you.Keep taking the medicine ..................!CBC65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairyNuff Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 In general a teaspoon is 5 mls, a dessert spoon 10 mls and a tablespoon 15 mls, as CBC65 says. We have some rather modern style teaspoons from IKEA, which I doubt hold 5ml, so I have to take care which one I use for measuring.

milkeybar kid Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 doh!Seriously, for anyone suffering rheumatics this over the counter medicine (recommended by our doc) Urarathone (homoeopathic) is excellent . I thought I had been overdosing on it as regards 1 tablespoon!! after seeing it contained rocket fuel - ethanol !! it was a moment of panic! Looked Ethanol up in Wikipedia ... big mistake! Interesting though Urarthone €8.70 in France (local chemist) one English advert on internet wanted £28.00 for same size of bottle.! MBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricia Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 When is a tablespoon not a tablespoon? When it's a french soup spoon.French spoon measures are different from english, the coffee spoon is different too.I've spent some time trying to work out what spoon is what [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
