Italian recipe question: Does "7/8" mean 7 ounces? I can't think what else it would mean, but that

[shaun-in-to]

seems a huge amount of capers given the amount of olives (close to 2 cups) and almonds (about 1/2 cup). But and I don't see any reader comments saying "Whoa, major mistake here, buddy!"http://panealpanevinoalvinoblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/pate-di-olive-verdi-alle-mandorle.html

Reviewing another pate on the website, they both use 200 ml of OO. In the second pate

they use 100 grams of capers. Maybe this recipes was supposed to use 78 grams of capers? (or 3/4 of a 100 gram serving?)

Maybe it means only 7 to 8.

The capers don't get big mention in the description and the colour of the spread seems to be quite light.

I'm going for 1/3 cup.

Ditto

You're both right! I asked on the site and that's indeed the answer: "7 or 8. You must

count the capers."

Good thing I checked!
