Which Imperial unit is sometimes given along with the metric system in the cookery?
Correct answer: Ounce
DSDA
As far as cookery goes, I'm pretty much bilingual (bi-measureable?). A teaspoon is 5 ml, a tablespoon 15 ml, a cup just under 250 ml, a quart is just about a liter. A pound is 454 grams, a kilogram 2.2 pounds. Easy stuff.

The US soft drink industry now uses liters for bottles. I think cans are still 12 oz. Beer still uses ounces AFAIK, and liquor I think is still fifths, half pints, etc. Meats and vegetables are still in imperial units. It's somewhat of a mixed bag. All packaging shows both units, speedometers were showing mph and kph decades ago. I don't know how long it would take for people to adapt, but I'd bet that Americans would sooner stage a revolt over switching to the metric system than over losing healthcare. Go figure.

Player #8258475, I'm fine on volume ,weight and distance but give someone's height in centimetres and I'm reaching for the conversion. Still definitely feet and inches there.

Never have got used to the metric system. I still ask for the likes of a quarter pound of cold meat at the deli counter of the supermarket and get it without any problems. Same goes for metres, centimetres etc - I just convert everything back to the old imperial measurements. I suppose its like being multi-lingual😂😂
