Talk:Spatula

|
In the UK, the implement referred to in the picture and the bulk of the text is usually called a "fish slice", while "spatula" refers specifically to a rubber-headed/wooden-handled implement often used to scrape cake mix or a similar substance from a bowl. Is this worth mentioning in the article? If so, what's the best way to do it? Lancevortex 11:44, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Rubber Baking Spatula
The modern rubber spatula, used in baking, primarily for cleanly removing as much of the goo as possible from the bowl, must be a modern invention. Its use requires rubber, used primarily beginning in the early 20th century, as there are no other materials that scrape with quite the same efficacy. And its need is a 20th century need, as the quickbreads which most use it are a relatively new thing.
Anyone know anything about it?
