Yeah, we do. Still measure distance in inches, feet and miles, too. We
are making attempts to "go metric" but it's slow catching on. Once upon
a time my state put up road signs listing distances to places in both
miles and kilometres .... as well as speed limit signs in both systems.
Public backlash was sufficient to the politicians to abandon that route.

Lots of inertia in this country. We're *very* slow to change.

      Title: N.Y.T. Apple Crumble
 Categories: Fruits, Herbs, Nuts, Citrus
      Yield: 9 servings
 
     12 tb (170 g) unsalted butter;
           - melted, more for buttering
           - the pan
  1 1/2 c  (180 g) all-purpose flour
  1 1/2 c  (300 g) packed dark brown
           Sugar; divided
      1 c  (80 g) old-fashioned rolled
           Oats
      1 c  (113 g) pecans, chopped
      1 ts Kosher salt
  3 1/2 lb Mixed apples; peeled, cored,
           In 1/2" wedges
      1 tb Ground cinnamon
      2 tb Fresh lemon juice
 
  Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Butter a 13" X 9" baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine
  the flour, 1 cup/200 grams of the brown sugar, oats,
  pecans and salt. Add the butter, and stir with a fork
  until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  
  Add the apples to the buttered baking dish and toss with
  the remaining 1/2 cup/100 grams brown sugar, cinnamon
  and lemon juice. Spread the apples into an even layer.
  Press the crumb mixture together to create clumps of
  different sizes, and sprinkle on top of the apples.
  Transfer to the oven, and bake until the apples are
  tender and the crumb topping is crisp and deep golden
  brown, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room
  temperature.
