Not that heavy. A dozen is only 12. From :)
It is, if you accept that burlap is a closely woven heavy cloth of cotton, hemp or linen used for tents and sails
Burlap bags are often used in the transport of many small, heavy organic materials. Such items include coffee beans and cocoa beans. Their advantages include allowing air flow, cheap to produce, and sturdy.
It would be helpful to know what country the name came from, since many names are respelled over the years. Generally, however, Burrells is a form of the name Burrell, which refers either to the color of heavy wool fabric like burlap (i.e. a dark reddish color), perhaps in reference to someone's hair, or to someone who wove, knit, or sold coarse fabric like burlap. Both the name Burrell/Burrells and the word burlap come from Middle English borel meaning "coarse cloth," originally from Latin "burra" meaning "wool." Although the word comes from French originally, the name is likely British and comes from England, Scotland, or Ireland.
My grandma had a large stainless steel lidded pot with an internal rack that could hold half a dozen heavy-duty Mason jars, upside down, for steaming them prior to next usage.
As far as I am aware, a bakers dozen came into being to make sure the correct weight of bread was supplied.12 loaves may not have been the correct weight, but 13 certainly would have been.Please see the related link belowContrary to the above,The Baker's Dozen came about around three hundred years ago or more when bread was sold by the weight of bread rather than the size of a loaf. Bakers were notorious crooks for short-changing customers - by baking underweight bread and then blaming the rising process of the yeast rather than their own fraudulent activities.Therefore a law was passed which heavily punished bakers if they sold loaves that were underweight. So, to ensure that they did not get punished, especially as they could not be exactly sure if they were selling bread that was heavy enough, they began to add an extra loaf for every dozen loaves ordered by the shops/markets so that they could be sure that the thirteen loaves weighed at least what the dozen loaves should, even if the individual loaves were a little light.Therefore, 13 became known as the 'baker's dozen'.
One of my favoite actors, Mr. Walker played in a number of TV shows and movies, and carried different guns. One was a .50 caliber Browning machinegun- in "The Dirty Dozen". "Where is Donald Duck? Down at the front gate- with a heavy machinegun."
