It comes in sticks?

Some recipes here need "a stick of butter" as an ingredient. Can someone please tell me how much a stick of butter weighs? (I couldn't find it on that "conversion site")

Thanks

OMG
Let me stick my two pence (er cents) in...

This will help no one, but let me add that about 10 years ago my son-in-law got me a wonderful British Tea cookbook and with it, he gave me a wonderful plastic measuring cup which gave fluid ounces, (the other) ounces, grams, and all the other things that make our lives miserable...it didn't matter what silly-ass measurements the recipe called for, this cup had it. I'm looking at it to get an idea who made it, but the only manufacturer designator is "made in England"..like I said, this will not help you, except to let you know that such a measuring cup exists. I use is all the time for Indian cooking which also uses Metric,uh, things....

Actually, it did help.

I have a measuring cup (which I only use for measuring fluids). After reading your answer I had a good look at it, and besides (centi-)liters it also shows cups, pints and fluid ounces! I've had that cup for a few years now, and I just never noticed/registered that fact before. How daft is that?

So, thank you!
