Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I'm not at all sure, but my guess is "two lemons." Does that make sense.

If receipe is printed from software, the quantity and the unit are stored in separate fields. That works fine for 2 cups, 2 tablespoons, but what happens when you use whole things like eggs, onions, lemons. My guess is they have to make up a unit, and that nos. is an abbreviation for "numbers." It would be better to leave the units blank, but that may cause a software error.

Do you have other recipes from the same source? I would check recipes that call for some number of whole eggs or onions, to see if they use the same expression.

Thank you very much. I checked different recipes and your
