L'indication donnée par «une pointe» est parfois synonyme, mais la quantité d'ingrédient que l'on prend avec la pointe d'un couteau est généralement un peu plus importante. Pour le safran toujours employé en quantités infimes, on emploie l'expression «une mesure», correspondant au contenu d'une minuscule dose dans laquelle le safran est souvent conditionné; on dit souvent «une goutte» d'huile, «un filet» de vinaigre, «un soupçon» de muscade, laissant au cuisinier le soin d'apprécier lui-même la quantité voulue pour mettre en valeur le plat. 3, record 1, French, - pinc%C3%A9e
