Of course this is done in idiocy imperial. Fuck your 'Murican “we need to be special so we use this objectively shitty thing to be different”. Only 3% of the world has a use for this, while the rest 97% are fucking tired of having to do extra work to convert.

What the fuck are you on about? What do you need to convert in this?

I guess things like dicing = 1/4" cubes

Yeah, because saying “6.25mm cubes” is so much more efficient /s

It’s not efficiency, it’s just not easy to visualise for people that have grown up elsewhere.
Julienne: 3mm × 3mm, 40-50mm in length
Brunoise: Diced Julienne, 3mm cubes, can be as small as 1 or 2mm
Diced has no official size, but it’s bigger, can be 5mm to 20mm depending on the dish.
There are predictably French names for all the different sizes, this page gets a bit muddled with inches in there again, but since they’re all French, I’d say trust the millimetres.
