Okay, so I decided to try the Three Cheese Scalloped Potato recipe this Christmas. I bought all of the ingredients, started assembling the dish hours before they came over and there it was.... '1 cube butter melted'. What measure is a cube of butter?...

To the internet, surely the net must know. Well, it doesn't.

Some say it is a stick/quarter lb/half cup. Others say it is a quarter of a stick, which equates to about 3 tablespoons. Half cup or 3 tablespoons..? well I went with the half cup, and am thinking next time I might cut that back. It was good none the less. But I have to know... which is it?
