It really isn't necessary to quote the entire recipe -- the couple of
line quoted above are enough to give us context, in my opinion.

tsp is the customary abbreviation for "teaspoon", and in the same way,
tbs (sometimes tbp) is the abbreviation for "tablespoon".

And teaspoon is smaller when tablespoon
is bigger ... @Vancouver, CANADA? In Russia - is.

Do You have 3 teaspoons and 1 tablespoon?
I have 1 tbs. and 3 tsp.(1 for tea,
1 for me,
1 for free).

3 teaspoons-1 tablespoon in "official" North American cooking measurements.

In tableware for meals, we have many more utensils. We call each set a "Place setting" which would typically consist of a table knife (i.e., not very sharp!), a salad/dessert fork, a dinner fork, a soup/dessert spoon, a
teaspoon (for coffee or tea), A typical household would probably have several place settings,
often purchased as a package deal.

There are other tableware utensils which are much less common, such as a
butter knife, a fork for eating snails, etc., but most of us don't own such things. In very formal circles the salad and dessert fork, and soup and
dessert spoon would be different sizes--but again in the typical
household they're the same size and can be used for either purpose.

Then we could get into glasses; white and red wine glasses, sherry glasses, liqueur
glasses....I just use a tumbler!!

Hi, Dallas! Recently you wrote in a message to Denis Mosko:

tsp is the customary abbreviation for "teaspoon",

With or without the period, yes.

and in the same way, tbs (sometimes tbp) is the
abbreviation for "tablespoon".

The one I see most often is "tbsp(.)", but some people evidently like to use the same number of letters in both... and I gather from the articles you found that in the UK various other abbreviations may also be used.

A further complication is that in older British recipes & possibly in Australian recipes one tbsp. = four tsp. When we were in high school, a friend told me her mother... who had grown up in the UK... didn't realize Canadians do things differently until a cooking attempt failed to turn out as expected. :-Q

Nor to title it "Office Excel" :-)

the same way, tbs (sometimes tbp) is the abbreviation
for "tablespoon".

To complicate matters, experienced cooks discern level
teaspon, rounded teaspoon, and heaping teaspoon. Because of
coffee's steep repose angle, I measure it by what I might
call overhanging spoon.
