The bright red rubbery utensil meant for scraping cake mix and gravy out of bowls. What is that? This really is my kitchenware. I’ll put it whatever side you say.

      In swedish it’s a slickepot, “lick-bowl”, so neither spoon nor spatula (if I had to, I’d take spatula as they often are spatula shaped).

    The metal things beneath it are spatulas. The red doohickey is a rubber scraper.

    If you wouldn’t use it to flip a pancake, it’s not a spatula.

      Cooking shows call those thin metal things “turners”. I’ve always called them spatulas.

      Etymology Online says spatula comes from Latin for “long flat blade”.

        I’m gonna break one of my rules and explain my joke …
        Where I live, the things behind it are spatulas. And so is the red rubber thing. And they are clearly not the same.
        … So that’s funny. Err … well I think its funny. I’m not very funny.
