Besides the average length, I would immediately suggest to compare the RMS deviation. Are all recipes roughly of the same length? Or there are some extremely short, others extremely long?...

Instead, descriptions such as "a handful of them" or "running around the field twice" were used. Recipes were therefore often very imprecise.
